It is back to the scene of "The Moonshine Matter" in Kennett, Missouri, for Johnny Dollar. Charles Kingsley St. Clair, of Providential Insurance Company , calls Johnny. Upha Krump is the latest victim in 20 Mile Swamp country. Upha had been planning to marry Cass Dingle, who is still alive, although Johnny thought he had been shot dead in the back by Dade Wopperman. Going out into the swamp country shots ring out. It is Cass Dingle, just getting his attention. Cass says to meet him at his cabin. By the time he gets there Cass is tied up, and 250 pound Dan'l Wopperman, and three other guys, Paul, Peter and John, have shot guns on Dollar. The murder of Upha was committed by Dan'l to lure Johnny back to the swamp to get revenge for Dade Wopperman. Cass and Johnny trick Dan'l into thinking that the place will be crawling with state police if Johnny isn't out by 5:00. Dan'l sends Paul, Peter and John to look for the police. With only one guy to confront now, Johnny manages to overcome Dan'l. As the other three return Cass knocks them out with the butt of Dan'l's gun.

Hello, SteelYourFaith! I wonder what a “scarecrown” is. Maybe it’s a royal scarecrow. :-)

Hi Keith, nice. What smoker do you have? I’ve got a WSM 18.5” being delivered tomorrow. Had a nice brisket dinner tonight (frozen leftovers). I’ll be curious how the BB turn out.

Where do you see Suspense?

"Scarecrown" meaning is a mystery in itself.

All will be revealed in time.

I ordered the set of three Johnny Dollar volumes Ed mentioned last week. They haven't arrived yet.

Hey Steel, how are things? Yea, what’s up with 9:30? I’m liking the Lux Theater from ‘38.

Wish you had mentioned it. I found a guy who has a great deal on shows. I picked up all of JD, Suspense, Whistler, and a lot more for a good price.

Sorry. Bad eyes. Maybe I was just hoping for SUSPENSE. Ellery Queen fooled me. My smoker is old and worn out. The side fire box has rusted due to being so close to the beach. I’m really just indirect cooking with a small pile of coals and a little pecan.

What I ordered were books. Each one is hundreds of pages long.

I believe I have a copy of all known JD episodes and about 80% of the Suspense shows. Whistler is great show, but I don't have many of them.

Amazon just dropped the price on the WSM by $20...right after I buy one.

Help Needed. I listen on a WIFI radio using Reciva and it hasn’t worked lately. I get WAMU on the laptop so I know ist me but the reciva radio gets WAMU Bluegrass and news but not the old time radio. It has worked for years and I have rebooted the radio and reset the station. Any Ideas?? Thanks in advance.
