The Millard Ward Matter: Murder on the Death Ship
Originally Aired: October 13, 1951
In The Millard Ward Matter, Johnny Dollar is dispatched to New Orleans after a merchant ship docks with its bosun, Millard Ward, murdered and a young seaman, Louis Radnick, in custody. Though it appears to be a cut-and-dried case of shipboard violence fueled by jealousy over Ward’s wife, the details begin to unravel under Dollar’s scrutiny. Was it a crime of passion or an act of self-defense? As Dollar digs deeper, contradictions surface, including the position of the murder weapon, the widow’s suspicious detachment, and a sailor’s sudden shift in testimony. In a tense conclusion, the truth emerges—not from the evidence, but from the unraveling guilt of a manipulated accomplice. Betrayal, desperation, and the lure of insurance money collide in this grim maritime mystery on Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.
