Episode 117 - Bailey on the Beat (Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar)

When Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar came back to the airwaves in 1955 after a brief hiatus, it was reenergized by a new nightly serialized format and a new star in Bob Bailey. Bailey made the role of "the man with the action-packed expense account" his own in rich, complex scripts that could play out five nights a week in a combined hour of airtime. We'll hear Bailey as Dollar in all five parts of "The Laughing Matter" (first aired on CBS from June 11 to June 15, 1956).
