What this episode covers

Originally Aired: October 13, 1955Johnny Dollar #239, "The Molly K Matter Ep 4,"Johnny Dollar finds himself under arrest, hauled in by Inspector Dan McKay on assault and battery charges filed by Captain Brawley. Dollar believes the charges are simply a delaying tactic to keep him from investigating the sinking of the Molly K. At harbor police headquarters, he lays out his theory for McKay: Brawley, desperate for money with his mortgage due, hired explosives expert Benny Wong to sink his own ship for the insurance money. When crew member Bill Mack discovered Benny in the act, Benny stabbed him to keep him quiet. McKay remains skeptical, arguing that while Brawley has a violent temper, sinking his own ship goes against everything a ship's captain stands for.A phone call from Shanghai Liu changes everything. Her spies have located Benny Wong hiding in a back room at the Fa Song Fish Company on Fisherman's Wharf. Dollar and McKay rush to the location, guns drawn, ready to make the arrest. When they burst through the door, they find Dean Sutton holding a gun, standing over Benny Wong's body. The explosives expert has been shot three times, and Sutton claims he just arrived and knows nothing about it.
