The Dan Frank Matter
Originally Aired: May 4, 1954
Johnny Dollar #213, "The Dan Frank Matter," Johnny Dollar heads to the Great Lakes town of Middleborough to investigate the suspicious death of Police Chief Dan Frank. The middle-aged chief was shot to death with his own gun in his home, and his 27-year-old wife Laura filed a claim for $50,000 just 24 hours after his death. They'd only been married eight months. Johnny encounters drunk reporter Pete Parker, who warns him that Middleborough is wide open with rackets and corruption, and that Dan Frank was living well beyond his police chief's salary.
Johnny meets the beautiful but cold Laura Frank, who claims an intruder shot her husband when he came downstairs to investigate a noise. She directs Johnny to city attorney Max Bealey, who provides Laura with a solid alibi—he was staying in the house that night for an early fishing trip with Dan. But Johnny discovers that Bealey and Frank weren't even friends, and that Laura's expensive tastes may have driven her husband into corruption. With both Laura and Bealey conveniently alibied for each other, Johnny suspects the truth runs deeper than a simple burglary gone wrong.
