Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar - The Hollywood Mystery Matter

Johnny's telephone is ringing. He picks it up and says "Johnny Dollar". A man on the line says "Mr. Dollar, my name is Parley Baron. I'm calling from Hollywood". Johnny says "Hollywood? Uh, what insurance company, Mr. Baron?" He says "None. You handle all investigations for Eastern Liability and Trust?" Johnny says "Yeah, I guess I do". Baron says "Well, I am sure that they'll be calling you shortly". Johnny asks "What about, sir?" Baron says "A little matter of embezzlement. Nearly 10,000 dollars that's been stolen from the Berkeley Furniture Manufacturing Company there in Hartford, Connecticut". Johnny asks "You're connected with Berkeley Furniture?" Baron says "No. No, actually I am not". Johnny says "Then, what's your connection with this embezzlement?" Baron says "I suggest you check with Berkeley and, of course, the insurance company. When you have learned the facts from them, I am sure you will find it of the utmost importance to contact me". Johnny says "You're in Hollywood?" Baron says "Yes. Goodbye, Mr. Dollar". Johnny asks "But, where in Hollywood?" Baron hangs up the phone. Johnny says "Hello? Hello?" Johnny then makes a phone call to Hal Spidle, his regular contact at Eastern Liability and Trust. Hal says "Well, Hi Johnny. Nice to talk to you again". Johnny says "Yeah, nice to talk to you, Hal. Listen, have you received a report of loss from the Berkeley Furniture Manufacturing Company?" Hal says "Well, they're a client of ours, but no. What makes you ask a thing like that?" Johnny says "A phone call I just got". Hal says "They called you direct?" Johnny says "Well, somebody did. A man by the name of ...." Hal receives another call and says "Wait a second. Yes, Mr. Who? Hold everything, Johnny". He says "I'm holding". After a few seconds, Hal comes back on the line and says "Johnny, you've got an assignment. It's the Berkeley Furniture Manufacturing Company". Johnny says "Embezzlement? 10,000 dollars?" Hal says "Yes, how did you find out about it? They just found out about it themselves. So, get on over there and see what goes, will you?" Johnny says "Hal, will do".
