Episode 271a: The McCormick Matter, Part 1

It's our Patreon drive month! We've got a whole bunch of special offerings to give all our listeners a taste of the extra content enjoyed by all of our Patreon supporters! For example, you can get a sample of our "Cliffhangers of Doom" bonus episodes! (And thank you to everyone who already does supports us!) We're starting out with a whole week of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar! Each day, we are going to post one installment of “The McCormick Matter,” a story in which a dying convict calls insurance investigator Johnny Dollar with a tip about an unsolved jewel theft in exchange for sharing the reward with this convict's wife. Is this deathbed bargain on the level or is it a plot take revenge on Dollar? Why are drinks so expensive in this story? What's a good metaphor for describing how dangerous a pretty girl is? Listen for yourself and find out!
