First.

Well, now we've got something really special for you, and it is a recently unearthed Johnny Dollar episode.

This was discovered by the Old Time Radio researchers as part of their Florida reels, and this was uncovered in the collection of collectors who were active between the nineteen sixties and the nineteen nineties.

This is one of three Yours Truly Johnny Dollar episodes that were uncovered.

The other two were gonna hear much later since they feature Mandel.

I've known about these episodes for a few months, but I decided to wait until after the run of episodes without any gap.

So we're going to go back now to May the twelfth, nineteen fifty seven.

Here now is the Glacier Ghost Matter from Hollywood.

That's time now for Johnny Dollar.

This is Walter Bascom.

Mister Dollar.

Ask him try Western Life and Casualty.

Oh yeah, sure, Hawrey, it's.

Fine, it's fine, But I have a problem with one hundred thousand dollars claim.

The big one.

Huh, who's the villain this time?

Let's just dip.

This is a claim I want to pay, but.

Can Oh that's a switch.

But how can I help Dollar?

I hope that you can find the body.

Oh Bob Bailey and the Exciting Adventures of a Man with the action packed expense a Car America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator.

It's truly Johnny Dollar.

Now act one of your truly Johnny Dollars expense accounts.

Spressional investigator Johnny Dollars to the trial Western Wife and Pasual the insurance company locked Angela's office following as an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the Glacier Ghost Matter.

Expense account out of one one hundred dollars twenty five cents air transportation Hartford to Los Angeles, California.

It was late when the big orangine plane circled slowly the land.

In the clear night air.

The myriad multicolored lights of the city of Angels made it sparkle like some tremendous field of precious stones.

IDEM two for any taxi into the Ambassador Hotel, which is just a stone for all from Western's offices on Wilshire Boulevards.

I immediately hit the sack IDEM three two dollars even for breakfast the following morning, after which I walked over the water, asking, as you got here a lot sooner than I expected.

Thanks all.

Now, whose body am I supposed to dig up?

Where I'll give it to you?

In a nutshell?

The policy is straight light one hundred thousand dollars.

No double indemnity or special closet.

And the insurance Raymond R.

Sheldon, partner in RYE.

Coff Sheldon Plastics Company here in La beneficiary his wife's glory.

That's the section of town just out beyond Beverly Hills.

Can I've had every bit of Sheldon's insurance for some fifteen years, and his planned as well as household personal property, automobile and everything.

It's been a very profitable account I've handled myself.

So what's happened?

Both Sheldon and his business partner out at Rykoff were in better at hunters and fishing in real normal follow spent all the time they could poking around up in the high Sierras.

Great shout company, I hear, yes.

A two weeks ago one Friday afternoon, they took off to do some exploring to locate if they could, a little lake somewhere north of the Palisade Glacier, California.

The Pallisade is the southernmost glacier in the country.

So what happened?

Or so, they packed in from the station near the town of Big Pine.

That's a couple of hundred miles north of here, in the Mount Whitney area Whitney highest mountain in the United States.

You know, there are a lot of high peaks in that area, and I wanted it.

You know, something never melts at any rate.

They found their lake only with a big one just below another glacier the other side of Pallisade.

The glacier they had to skirt in order to get back to the pack station.

Well, that's where it happened.

Lone horse glacier blizzard came up.

They had trouble finding their route and foolishly drifted apart big ice ledge broke off and plunged Sheldon down into a tremendous deep crevass.

What about his partner, Ranco?

Two days later, half starved and barely alive, he crawled into the backstation.

You say both of them knew that country pretty well.

Now, what was this crank on the phone about finding a body?

Sheldons to establish legal proof of this death.

It's still somewhere up in that glacier ice.

Or did the search parties go on for as soon as the storm cleared and they found where the break in the ice shell procurred, we could see no sign of.

The body at the bottom.

Well, that easily understandable.

But if a bunch of natives to that part of the country couldn't find anything, how do you expect me to I don't know, but I hope you'll try.

Otherwise the provision for a fifty two week wait have to apply.

I got it was seven years when no, I'm talking about the standard disappearance following accidents in our policies.

Why are you so anxious to pay off this claim in such a hurry?

We know what happened to Ray Sheldon, and according to his partner, right, yes, even if Sheldon had survived the avalanche or whatever you want to call it, he couldn't have lived more than a few hours up in that cold and much less ever, get back alone, soul.

Why drag the whole thing out?

His wife need the money, yes, yes, very badly, and I take it to you know, Yes, it's very well done her.

You see, I'm in love with her.

I let that one pass, although I was sure we'll know exactly what I must be taking.

I M four a couple of bucks for a taxi out of the Ry Cough Sheldon Plastics company on Washington Boulevard.

Amurry Cough turned out to be a tall, good looking, well built fellow in his late ferry, and, except for going into a bit more detail, gave me virtually.

The same story walk past.

I wondered out loud just how much the loss of his partner meant to him?

Are you kidding?

Dollar?

Ray was like a brother to me, but we were closer than brothers, with a perfect partnership.

But hadn't been for Ray Sheldon, I wouldn't.

Get the of this business, you mean because of his death dollar before I came in here with him five years ago.

He built this plant up single handed.

He was the one who struggled through all of its.

Growing pains, financing, developing, the dying, and casting machines that have finally got us the fat government contracts.

That No, wait a minute, yeah, you said I'm on top now because of his death that if you are thinking what I think you want, what's play our cards on the table?

To whom does this business go at?

That Sheldon has been.

To me on the basis of our partnership agreement.

Now look here, Dollard, make it easy, right yess.

But if you're trying to.

Apply, trying to imply anything, I'm just trying to get the whole picture, that's all.

I've been sent out here to see if I can find Sheldon's body so that the life.

Insurance claim to be paid.

I came to see you and I hope you might be able to help me find this body.

I'm sorry, I guess this whole thing has me.

I'm sorry.

I'll help you anyway I can.

Do you intend going up to the years, Yes, and i'd like you to come along with me.

I will gladly all right, but I don't see how I can possibly get away from here for a couple of days at least.

If you can wait, we can fly up there in my own plane.

Well, no, I don't want to just sit around here doing nothing for two days.

So I'll go ahead.

You meet me up there as soon as you can get away.

Do you know where to go?

Give me directions and I'll leave now.

I am five a dollar seventy text me at the home of Ray Sheldon's widow on Pandora Avenue out in Westwood.

It was a small but attracted place, and I was middling a good neighborhood.

Mister Sheldon barely turned forty.

I'd say, we're also small and attractor.

I didn't realize it would be necessary for an investigator to come all.

The way out from the well.

It's only because of water.

Bad's going a request to set on your insurance claim so quickly.

Well, in no time.

If I move the money journey, please call me, Gloria.

Why sure?

If you see Ray kept putting all his money back in the bin.

There was something about having to expand the plant to handle some important government work.

Yes, I understand the contracts for it have come through.

Only a month or so ago.

Now raise you here to see his labors their fruit, sixteen long, depriving himself, working so hard.

No want me to end up burying the snow.

And if the country he up so much, I'm sorry, Tully.

Well, he seems to have provided pretty well for you.

It's nice home.

Insurance kind of kind of a reward, I guess you can reward during the different times.

You see, we were never really.

Very close together.

Ten in life.

Ray was thirteen years older than me.

I guess I married him because I.

Expected and admired him the way he studied and worked his way up from nothing, no family, no formal education.

And you see, it was my social contact that enabled him to finance the plastic business.

Even Albert didn't.

Oh, oh, Gloria, Well, we were.

Perfectly honest about it as.

Well.

Was in love with you.

I've met him in Florida, where Ray sent me run winter, and I've done wonderfully together.

I was almost becoming wonder of defend Is he still in love with him?

Right?

I don't know.

Well, he's too nice to show it.

If he is, well, of course I am.

You seem to forget that he and Ray were very close.

What kind of a person would he feed him in love to his best friend's wife.

I don't think what you're going Are you in love with al right Cot?

After all, he's in love with you as.

Me, mister Dallas, Well, yes, because you couldn't see what it really is.

I don't think I like it, not a bit.

It's almost as though you suspected somebody of murdering race and is.

The possibility isn't of course not who?

Several people might finish it like you for him?

This is the fifty years of a half faked marriage and struggling along.

How you can call wondering in Florida's struggle, I don't know.

I told you he tried to make at right call.

Who now owns the business?

Now that it's suddenly begin to process fact that any might still care for you can look pretty suspicious.

Good, you don't know what you're talking about.

How about Walfascom.

It's pretty unusual when an insurance man it's so anxious to spend the company's money.

But then if he has intentions towards the beneficiary of the policy.

Also, this is terrible.

You're saying I won't let you, I won't send for this.

Well, oh, now come on, put that thing down right cough.

I thought you'd come here instead of going up to the mountain.

You know, everything you said was possible, dollar possible, but not through.

And I won't stand for you or anyone else tormenting this this way.

She's been through more than she deserves as it is, and I'm not gonna stand still while some stupid insurance dick makes her tear her heart on right cough and put that thing away and you get out of here.

Just put yourself at my foot.

I have.

That's why I said, all those wild theories of yours are possible, all of them, All three of us have plenty again with Ray Sheldon out of the way, especially me, because in the long run, I stand the benefit most and I'd be number one suspect, wouldn't I because I was the last one to see Ray, the only one who was with him when he died, the only one who could have murdered him.

But and this is the big butt dollar, I had killed Ray Sheldon, either you nor anybody else would ever be able to prove it.

Remember that get out.

He took some fast thinking and a lot of careful deliverate talking to calm down Al Raikoff partner Raymond Sheldon, who had allegedly died in a mountain climbing accident.

If Sheldon had been murdered, rykof was a natural suspect, one of three, that is.

But unless I could find Sheldon's body buried somewhere in the age of this ice and snows of a glacier high in the Sierra Country, Al was right, they couldn't possibly be proof that Sheldon's death was an accidental.

Al finally became convinced that an attack on me would only add to any suspicions that he might have murdered Sheldon, that his only defense would be to help me all he could.

He freely admitted still being in love with Gloria Sheldon, and he repeated that his reason for bursting in on us was to protect her from further heartache over all that had happened, And who knows, maybe he was telling the truth And any event, we took off about an hour later, and his two engine plane headed almost to north and by three pm we're cruising along through the high thin air over the tall peaks of the Sierra Nevada.

Over there to the right a little town.

You see his big climb at your base of operation when you and Sheldon came up here looking for the mountain lake.

Now that's Forest Lewis's backstation directly ahead there where you see that long clear space.

That's where we'll spend the night.

It's like he has the landing field.

The guy has some of the lakes up here.

It does.

Of them have to be blown into unless you want to pack in on horseback for several days.

There's Palisite glacier over there you left.

That's not the one where Shelldon was trapped.

No, it was lone horse glacier other side of that next peak.

A small plane labor in the high altitude, but managed to carry us clear of the twelve down to foote and then below us we saw the lake horse clear and blue, and all the surrounded by snow coming rocks.

Al It took a lot of guts to pack up here.

No, we were just crazy to do it so early.

Like other fishy pools.

We were determined to have a place all to ourselves.

I look ahead, they're do north on the far rim of the lake.

Yeah, Loan Horse Glacier.

That's the big crevass just above the ice of the lake.

But well that's where the ice lids broke off.

Yeah, and I can see how the bottom of that crevass would be impossible to get to.

Yeah, yeah, take these glasses while to make it turn.

She got warm up ter rain up here one day last week wash away some of.

The fresh snow at the spot where he.

Fell right came up and flew over it like we're doing now.

So so look down directly down.

You see it's a party.

But it's a party down there.

It's a raised body.

What positive identification from up here is impossible.

That's as impossible as ever recovery.

Yeah, I can see that.

And you too, were absolutely alone.

I doubt if anyone else has ever been crazy enough to climb this buck.

Yeah.

Well I'll what I see is proven up from me, so a dollar.

I'm sorry if I acted like a fool there, glorious house.

Look, I swear all I was trying to do was I think I understand.

Now let's go back to the packstation.

Yeah, and thanks dollar.

There was nothing fancy about Boris Lewis's packstation, and he was full up with early season fishermen.

Someone who chose to go up into their favorite spots buck factrain, others who could afford to be thrown into their pact camping spots over a plane, but high the evening on the log building the forest called his lodge, and idea slowly began to form in the back of my head.

One of my flyboys spotted Sheldon's body there too, right after that.

Rain we had last week, that song.

Before that, we'd hunted around on the trails up there for day.

We couldn't find nothing.

Were you think there's any chance of recovering, It's not a chance.

Impossible even with a helio copper.

That chasm where he fell in is too deep rugged the helicop would ever make that attitude Johnny much.

Let's fight the air pocket to get close enough.

Yeah.

I reached it by train either because of that chasm just north of it, chasm that opened up when the ice ledge busted off, swatch even deeper than the one Sheldon's body's in.

You try climbing around on the narrow ridge it's left and ewing the ridge and everything else is go cracking down in the Lone Horse Lake.

Oh that's that.

Yeah, I see that.

Body is just half laid there at the end of time, observed with the cold and the ice and it soon surround it.

And yet it's a fitting tomb for a man who loved this country so much.

Yeah, mighty nice man too.

Well, as long as you fellows are up here, why don't you stay.

A couple of extra days?

Do some facing a lot of mighty fine goldens being took out of some of the small high lakes up there, how about of its right?

Oh?

I'd like to for you, but I'm afraid i'd better get back to Los Angeles.

You turned out a chance to fee, so I can't believe it.

I tell you the truth.

I'm afraid I've kind of lost my desire to fish up here after well.

Oh yeah, sure son, I'm sorry I should have realed.

Sure, well, I'm going to take you up on that offer.

Forrest my cracks.

A golden trailer too few and far between, what's more, come to think of it, I'm on an expense account, so why not.

But I had an entirely different kind of fishing in line and the following morning immediately after, al Raikoff hopped into his plane and took off for Los Angeles.

I got going from forty Lewis.

I got hold of a couple of six of dynamite, and with his help and a handful of thirty thirty cartridges, I divined a couple of impact qs, a trick I'd learned a long time ago pal on the New York Arsen squad.

Just to make sure, Fory and I rigged up one of them with a small charge and dropped it into a deep rock stream crevice near the edge of his property.

Thet's see if it works, great?

Oh so, fire, Johnny Holstand works now even with a drop of only forty or fifty feet.

What are you going to do now?

You still haven't told me what is it all about?

Well, didn't I notice a set of pontoons on one of the planes tied down on your landing strips we use and pontoons that Joe Gracie's plane and Joe's he can drop the customers down on the lake where they want a camp on the edge of Then Joe's my boy walked to fifty dollars a trip.

That'll be okay, man, If you're going after Golden's you'll know where to take you fory how much dynam might have you got there.

In your worship?

Oh?

A couple of cases or two?

You know, case I eitherside to put up another building needs some more rock us.

Hey, wait a minute.

Your idea of fishing ain't the dynamite the lake?

Oh hardly, But I'll need about a case of the stuff.

Come on, let's get at it.

I him six twenty four to fifty dynamites, and I threatened forty Lewis with mayhem if he told the pilot that's end of seven, with away fifty dollars eating Joe Gracie didn't even ask about the boxing what it was his playing, probably thought it was a city dude's idea of a tackle bun.

Joe could fly all right.

He seemed to know every up and down draft and every mountain pass in the area and be ready for us.

And none of them are pretty wicked, mister Donald, Oh brother, I can see that all right.

None of these jagged peaks around he look pretty wicked too.

I don't think there with them, I hope.

So okay, Now that's lone horse glacier on the left, isn't it?

Jack and the.

First crevass that from the edge of the lake is the one with Sheldon's body.

That's right.

I was the first one to spot it last week.

All right, I want you to fly as close as possible down toward that second crevass, the DP one, the one back of the one with the body.

That's right, Jack, Now, what be prepared for the surplies of your life?

Well, i'll uh look for you paying the chatter and give them the orders and all.

I didn't want to say anything, but if you want to like it as a lot of gold outdoors, your lord, just as close to that second hands them as your tare ye the boss.

Easy, Now lower still and parallel it.

That's what we're doing, right, Redder, just the hare Uh look over the left and a couple of seconds and you'll see Jellen's body and at other rests you'll look at it here now, hey, cut that door.

What are you doing?

Dollar gain all to your fan?

What you grow out?

What are you up to?

Dinah?

I too, riches clear in the lake, Nolla, hang on.

Great shock wave rock that tiny plane, and below we can see tall plumes of shattered ice snow reach upward into the thin, cold air.

Or a light glistening cloud, and finally slowly settled down toward the mountains the light.

Two high ridges of ice had been pushed over into the lake there's though, by some giant hand, and they were floating.

Then when the lake settled down, we landed on it.

By this time I'd given Joe some idea of my purpose, or you might have thrown me out, and I tailed back to the pack station along a word, mister Della.

I see it floating there straight ahead.

That's it all right, heldon's body.

Yeah, I'll take it easy, Joe.

I'm gonna climb down on the pond tooon and try.

To pick it up.

And you gotta be money, can't.

Oh, I'll worry, brother, I will bull him.

An ice water.

You wouldn't last half a minute, A little bit to the right, just as slow as you can now, heck.

Not that easy?

Now?

Easy?

Does it?

Easy?

Here?

You?

Okay, okay, cut your engine and help me get him aboard.

He had a boy, You guys, buddies deserved perfect by the cold.

Help me use sure you can.

Just yeah, I guess it's just about what I expected to find.

This Law and al Raikoff were a Loan up there.

So they had happened, and before Sheldon fell into that creviss, he was carefully repeatedly shut in.

The back good Law.

At eleven thousand feet him with the extra load.

To take off from Loan Horse Lake wasn't easy, but we finally made it and started back toward the packstation.

Sure is an awful thing what some people will do.

Sometimes this is all, yeah, Joe, but sooner or later they get caught up with I think Sheldon's body full of poat of holes is enough to end it on this guy, right Coff.

By his own admission, he was the only one up there when Sheldon died.

And I bet if he'd known what you were up to here, he'd never have gone home.

That surprises me too, now that we know he was the killer.

Joe.

Huh.

How one are your planes coming toward us?

Yeah?

The same When I seen when we were landing on the lake, the sun was against it.

Those I couldn't be waiting.

That's right, cost plane, what I'm sure of it.

He must have seen what we've been up to him.

Look out for him.

Look out for him.

He's coming at his.

Head on, crazy fool, look out stop going out.

It's down at the window and I run him this old single engine.

Never what y'all he's coming around again to get on our tail, like he's.

Gonna try to rabbits.

Trial ends up tight.

I'm gonna tad, we can't get Yes, yes we can.

Anko pasts, Anchor pasts back to long Han wain't no peak?

Well, Megan, he won?

What do you mean now?

Drying a bad down draft?

Let you know, man, your dad?

Are you sure we can make it?

Mean that we've got to make it?

Hold John amow he's coming up on his bad Here we go.

Huh yeah, we're okay.

I was della yeah, oh brother, good flying show, good boy, but.

Not right, Hugh.

Look back.

He crashed within a couple of hundred yards of where he thought he'd buried his path.

I guess maybe you'd call that justice, Yeah, Joe, Yeah, yes, it's Stuart said justice was done and one of its own strange boys.

And I suspect Walt Baskin.

Will hesitate the next time he gets a request for such fast action on acquaint.

However, I see no reason why this one should be paid in for expense account total including incidentals and transportation back to Harfrid Oh and a couple of days fishing for golden trout there at Forrest Lewis's place.

I needed it.

Expense account total four hundred and thirty dollars sixty cents.

Yours truly, Johnny doll now here is our star to tell you about next week's story.

Next week all woil of a story about at whale and if you ever started hunting for a missing whale, well join us, won't you?

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar.

Yours truly, Johnny Dollars, starring Bob Bailey, originates in Hollywood.

It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone, who also wrote tonight story.

Heard in our cast were Virginia Craig Herbellus, Boris Lewis, James Mcallian, and John Dayer.

Musical supervision is by A.

Marigo Marino.

Be sure to join us next week, same time and station for another exciting story of yours truly, Johnny Dollars.

This is Dan coverly speaking.

Johnny Dollar has come to you through the worldwide facilities of the United States Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.

Welcome back.

As I mentioned, this episode has been a little heard for the last fifty eight years, and I'm so glad this is back, because this is one of the most glorious, unhinged bits of daring dow during Johnny Doller's entire run, and I would venture to say most any other hero.

With a few exceptions I've heard during the Golden As Radio, I have to admire Johnny Shuspa to call Al Roykoff a crazy fool after jury rigging homemade impacts uses loading up downa mite and dropping explosives on a glacier from a moving plane in hopes of blowing apart two ridges.

I've mentioned on other episodes that writer Jack john Stone's career in radio really began back in his work on Buck Rogers and Soon, and it shows here in those sort of worlds you can get away with being as outlandish and improbable as possible.

It's not really something you'd expect on a detective program for adults in the late nineteen fifties.

I still enjoyed it because they fully committed to the bit, and also, as a child of the nineteen eighties, I appreciate it because it cold in my mind the sort of outrageous jury rigged solutions that you saw in Macgiver.

Now, of course Macgiver wouldn't have used a gun, and he probably would have stayed away from something as loud and obvious as explosives.

He'd probably have gotten the body out using a pocket mirror, a piece of twine, and used chewing gum.

Nevertheless, this story is probably as close to a Golden Age of radio ancestor of Macgiver as you will find.

In a way, I feel like Johnny's solution practically blunts any other criticism you could make of the episodes, Like I would typically criticize Ryckoff hanging around just in case, like it's stealth mode, just in case Johnny decides to do something other than fishy.

But it's hard to complain about much when you have dynamite used on a glacier.

Well, now we do turn to listener comments and feedback now, and we start out with Dawn, who writes regarding the two face matter, Bob Bailey really doesn't have the same expense count game of his predecessors.

They would throw in a raincoat or lavish meal just because mechanic sixty six points out true, But he got a lot of benefits from some of the people he helped, including bonuses as large as ten thousand dollars, and I think that's true.

And to be fair, I think that the whole gimmick of Johnny, you know, going over the top in patting his expense account really was something that was a Charles Russell thing, a little bit of Edmint O'Brien era, but mostly Charles Russell.

And it really did get died back.

That doesn't mean that it never happens.

Indeed, you'll hear Bob Bailey say things like and all of the incidentals I could manage, but it's just not quite as flagrant and pronounced.

And I think Mechanics sixty six does hit on a key reason for that.

When you can collect big fees and big tips for you know, putting out an exceptional job, you know, trying to done the company on the expense account, that's just not a really effective approach.

A Mechanic sixty six comments a little bit further, the insurance companies would never even bother and investigating, let alone paying off without a police report.

Insurance companies must have either directly or indirectly sponsored this show.

And I can get kind of where he's coming from because most of us.

When we deal with insurance companies, we are dealing with these sort of large major companies out there, you know, you know the names All State and Goico and Nationwide, these sort of national chains with big headquarters and big organizations.

That's not really who Johnny served for the most part.

For the most part, Johnny is called in by regional companies.

Even someone like Universal Adjustments is effectively a reinsure of a lot of smaller companies, and so there would be some flexibility.

And with many of these companies, a key portion of their business isn't just enforcing the rules.

It is relationship building, not just necessarily with the people who are insured, but through the broader network.

And you know, you think about in this small town ensuring this one factory, Well, that's a key opportunity because most likely you didn't just sell them insurance on the business.

You sold them other insurance.

Now, obviously, because of the nature of the employees, you didn't sell them auto insurance, but you sold them homeowners insurance and life insurance, and you sold them annuities.

Because more people tended to turn to insurance companies for investments, and as this sort of region company trying to maintain a presence in a small town.

That sort of contract would be a big deal for you.

So could you turn around and insist on a strictly business way of handling this?

Yes, would it be good business, particularly if it ended up costing you all those other policies you got it from the plan?

Probably not.

Now.

I'm not saying this thing happened all the time or all insurance companies were like that, but I do think that the business model of the type of insurance companies that tended to hire Johnny really did lean in that direction.

Didn't last long enough to blow.

Of course, someone anyone you mean?

Oh, I'm not too particular, mister hay Wooden.
