Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar: "The Archeologist Matter"
A Missing Scientist, a Desert Dig, and a Discovery Someone Wants Buried
In "The Archeologist Matter," Johnny Dollar is sent to investigate the disappearance of a respected archeologist working at a remote excavation site. What begins as a routine insurance inquiry quickly turns into a tense journey into rugged country, academic rivalries, and a dig that may have uncovered something far more valuable — or far more dangerous — than anyone expected.
Dollar finds himself dealing with nervous colleagues, conflicting stories, and a few too many people who seem eager to keep him away from the truth. As he follows the trail, he uncovers motives buried as deeply as the artifacts the team was digging for.
With sharp dialogue, atmospheric tension, and Johnny's trademark persistence, this episode delivers a classic blend of mystery and danger — proving once again that the past can be deadly when someone wants it left undisturbed.
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar: "The Bodyguard of Robert W. Perry Matter"
A Reluctant Client, a Shadowy Threat, and a Job Johnny Never Wanted
In "The Bodyguard of Robert W. Perry Matter," Johnny Dollar takes on an assignment he'd rather avoid — protecting a man who insists he doesn't need protection. Robert W. Perry is wealthy, influential, and stubborn, and he's convinced the threats against him are exaggerated. The insurance company disagrees, and Dollar is caught in the middle.
What starts as a simple bodyguard job quickly becomes a twisting case involving hidden enemies, old grudges, and a few dangerous individuals who would prefer Perry — and Dollar — out of the way. As Johnny digs deeper, he finds that the threats are very real, and the motives behind them are far more tangled than anyone has admitted.
With rising tension, sharp exchanges, and a race to uncover who's behind the danger, this episode showcases Johnny Dollar at his best: skeptical, sharp‑witted, and determined to keep his client alive — even when the client won't cooperate.
