    Bodyguard to Anne Connelly
    2026/08/19
    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.

    Aired: Oct 29th, 1949. A grieving widower's veiled threats and a string of suspiciously convenient policyholder deaths send Johnny Dollar undercover as insurance bait, riding in a rented limousine from one bereaved family to the next in search of a name nobody will admit to knowing. With a quarter-million dollars in claims already paid out and Dollar himself now insured for $50,000 as the tempting worm on the hook, this 1949 case turns door-to-door condolence calls into a race against a killer who never leaves fingerprints.
