Originally Aired: June 27, 1951
When a $100,000 jewelry heist shocks the historic Hatchet House estate in the English countryside, insurance investigator Johnny Dollar is dispatched to London. The prime suspect is Marcella Scott, a glamorous Texan widow living far beyond her means, and her smooth-talking American companion Norman King, whose charm conceals a criminal past. But the trail of missing jewels and misleading alibis winds through foggy backstreets and servants’ quarters before ending in a tragic twist. As Dollar uncovers a bitter betrayal and a servant’s broken dream, the truth emerges with a heartbreaking cost. A haunting tale of trust, class, and disillusionment in this transatlantic episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.
