Johnny Dollar0:13

[phone rings] Johnny Dollar.

Frederick Keeley0:18

[clears throat] This is Frederick Keeley at Masters Insurance and Trust Company.

Johnny Dollar0:23

How are you, Mr. Keeley?

Frederick Keeley0:24

I... Oh, fine, thank you, but that's rather beside the point. I have a bit of a problem, Mr. Dollar.

Johnny Dollar0:29

Haven't we all?

Frederick Keeley0:30

Eh? Beg your pardon?

Johnny Dollar0:31

Nothing, sir. Just go on, please.

Frederick Keeley0:33

Well, Mr. Dollar, one of our claimants, that is to say the beneficiary of a small insurance policy, apparently never received the check for $3,000 we sent him.

Johnny Dollar0:43

I'm afraid I don't get it, Mr. Keeley. Why call on me?

Frederick Keeley0:46

What do you mean, sir?

Johnny Dollar0:47

Well, all you have to do is call the bank, stop payment on that check, and issue another.

Frederick Keeley0:51

I'm afraid not, sir.

Johnny Dollar0:52

Why not?

Frederick Keeley0:52

I said apparently never received it. I use that word advisedly.

Johnny Dollar0:56

Well?

Frederick Keeley0:56

Because it so happens the check we sent him has been cashed.

Johnny Dollar1:00

Oh.

Frederick Keeley1:01

Yes, properly endorsed and apparently cashed by the claimant, the beneficiary himself.

Johnny Dollar1:05

Apparently.

Frederick Keeley1:06

Yes, and again, I use the word advisedly.

Johnny Dollar1:08

Well then, it kinda means one of two things: either this beneficiary is trying to collect the money twice- Yes ... or somebody else got to that check first, in which case we have a little matter of forgery on our hands.

Frederick Keeley1:18

Which, of course, should exact the fullest possible penalty of the law. Will you look into it for us?

Johnny Dollar1:24

Sure, Mr. Keeley, why not?
