Johnny Dollar is not a cop, not a private eye with a downtown office — he's a freelance insurance investigator who gets called in whenever an insurer smells something wrong with a claim, and every case becomes a first-person account itemized, expense by expense, for the company footing the bill. Charles Russell originated the role in 1949, playing Dollar as a wisecracking operator whose meticulous "expense account" narration doubles as the story's running commentary, needling suspects and insurers alike. Across tales of arson, fraud, kidnapping, and murder-for-profit, the show turns a claims investigation into a full-blown detective story, with Dollar's tally of cab fares, hotel bills, and "incidental expenses" becoming the sly, funny throughline. It's a founding entry in one of radio's longest-running detective series, and Russell's clipped, brash take on the character set the tone before the role passed to a string of successors.Copyright 07 Audio Network 社会科学

    Aired: Dec 3rd, 1949. Insurance investigator Johnny Dollar is dispatched to Milwaukee to protect a nervous policyholder as her paroled ex-fiance, jailed for grand theft, walks free after five years and threatens to make good on an old promise of violence. Between wisecracking exchanges with his home-office boss over expense-account trivia and a run-in with the client's razor-tongued maid, Dollar settles in to wait for a confrontation he's sure is coming. A moody, character-driven entry from the earliest days of the series, heavy on Charles Russell's clipped banter and slow-building dread.
