  6/21/59 "The Life At Steak Matter" Matter #644 Bob Bailey, Virginia Gregg (telephone operator), Jean Tatum (nurse), Howard McNear (Alvin Peabody Cartwright), Forrest Lewis (man on Malibu pier), Joseph Kearns (Jonathan Peoples), Paul Dubov (Bill Ferguson) ; Writer/Producer/Director - Jack Johnstone ; Announcer - Dan Cubberly ; Expense Account Total = "forget it" ; "One of my oldest and wildest friends, in one of my rarest and wildest adventures." A telephone operator calls Johnny to complete a call by Bill Ferguson of Continental Insurance and Trust, Hartford. Ferguson catches Johnny who is still in Los Angeles following his work in Morro Bay on "The Big H Matter". Alvin Peabody Cartwright the wealthy, elderly, absent-minded, friend of Johnny's from Lakewood, north of Hartford, also has a place at 10321 N. Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills, California. He invites Johnny over to his place. When Dollar gets there Jonathan Peoples tells him that he fears that Cartwright is dead, because he saw two strange men carrying a trunk away that was dripping blood. Dollar gets knocked out by a kid chasing a hula hoop, and wakes up to a blonde nurse in the hospital. Johnny and Peoples take off to the Malibu Pier where a man tells him that two men went out to Cartwright's yacht. On the pier they see blood. Peoples is sure that the two men have murdered Cartwright. Commandeering a speed boat, Dollar and Peoples track the culprits to Cartwright's 75 foot yacht, the Alpecar (ALvin PEabody CARtwright), on the high seas. Cartwright is alive. He had called Ferguson to get in touch with Dollar because he wanted to treat him to a trip on the sea in his yacht, but forgot and left without Dollar, as well as the trunk of tenderloin steaks that his new butler and cook, Gerald and Harold, had to return home to get. (Bob Bailey salutes WDBJ, Roanoke, Virginia, on their 35th year on the air.) (18:50)
