THE YANKEE PRIDE MATTER and THE VIRGINIA BEACH MATTER YOURS TRULY, JOHNNY DOLLAR

⭐ 1001 RADIO DAYS Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar — Episode Show Notes   🎙️ THE YANKEE PRIDE MATTER Original Air Date: December 2, 1956 Starring: Bob Bailey as Johnny Dollar Series: CBS Radio — The Five‑Part Serial Era

⭐ Episode Summary The Yankee Pride, a cargo ship insured for a massive sum, goes down under suspicious circumstances — and Johnny Dollar is sent to investigate whether it was an accident, sabotage, or something far more profitable.

What begins as a routine maritime claim quickly turns into a high‑stakes chase involving:

A ship that may have been deliberately sunk

A cargo manifest that doesn't add up

A captain with a questionable past

And a trail of lies stretching from the docks to the insurance office

Johnny's investigation takes him into the world of shipping fraud, dangerous waterfront characters, and a scheme so bold it threatens to take him down with the ship.

This is Bailey‑era Dollar at its best — layered, tense, and packed with twists.

⭐ Main Characters Johnny Dollar — The man with the action‑packed expense account

Captain Bill Ramey — Master of the Yankee Pride, hiding more than he admits

Tom Braden — Insurance executive desperate for answers
