Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar   -   The Cronin Matter

Joe Parker of Surety Mutual calls Johnny to ask him to attend a party to be given by Dolly McLean. Dolly, Johnny knows, was known during the roaring twenties as the Champagne Dream Girl and the Dancing Darling.

Now Barnaby has been dead ten years and the precious necklace has been tucked away in a bank lock box. When Dolly decides to throw a party for old times sake, and plans on wearing necklace, Joe fears the necklace will be a target of theft and wants Johnny to protect it.   Excellent script by Les Crutchfield.
