The Broderick Matter Ep 1
Originally Aired: November 14, 1955
Johnny Dollar #261, "The Broderick Matter Ep 1,"
Robert Steele from Eastern Trust Insurance Company hires Johnny Dollar to locate Lorraine Broderick, beneficiary of a $1,500 policy left by John Adams Smith, a 67-year-old newspaper vendor who died alone in a charity ward. The case touches Steele deeply because Smith religiously paid his premiums for years after meeting 11-year-old Lorraine just once in 1943 when she helped him sell papers. Now 23, Lorraine has seemingly vanished, and Steele hopes she grew up to be worthy of the old man's faith in her.
Johnny traces Lorraine's tragic history: her parents killed in a 1948 car accident, followed by the death of her guardian uncle in 1950. At St. Charles High School, Sister Mary Regina remembers Lorraine as having a face "like an angel's, gentle and fresh and wonderful." Johnny discovers that Lorraine worked in a dentist's office after her uncle's death and may still be there. As he closes in on her location, Johnny contacts Steele for backup, sensing he might need help with what comes next.
