    Today's Mystery: Johnny Dollar is hired by a life insurance company to locate a missing beneficiary named Jonathan Doe, who is set to receive $50,000 from a policy belonging to a recently deceased farmer. The problem is that no one in the area seems to have ever met Jonathan Doe, and even his supposed farm contains few clues that he ever existed. As Johnny investigates, suspicion falls on the farmer's son, who stands to inherit the money if Doe remains missing. Johnny must uncover the truth behind the mysterious beneficiary and determine why no one seems to know who he really was.Original Radio Broadcast Date: August 30, 1959Originating from HollywoodCast:Virginia GreggLawrence DobkinMarvin MillerSam EdwardsJudas MatthewsStacey HarrisBart RobinsonSupport the show monthly at patreon.greatdetectives.netPatreon Supporter of the Day: Jim, Patreon supporter since May 2020.Support the show on a one-time basis at http://support.greatdetectives.net.Mail a donation to: Adam Graham, PO Box 15913, Boise, Idaho 83715Take the listener survey at http://survey.greatdetectives.netGive us a call at 208-991-4783Follow us on Instagram at http://instagram.com/greatdetectivesFollow us on Twitter @radiodetectivesJoin us again tomorrow for another detective drama from the Golden Age of Radio.

Transcript:Nl: Het was een herfstdag zoals geen ander.En: It was an autumn day like no other.Nl: De wind blies zachtjes door de kale bomen en de bladeren vielen als gouden confetti op de grond.En: The wind blew gently through the bare trees and the leaves fell like golden confetti on the ground.Nl: Maarten en Femke liepen voorzichtig naar een verlaten pakhuis aan de rand van de stad.En: Maarten and Femke cautiously walked toward an abandoned warehouse on the edge of the city.Nl: Maarten was opgewonden.En: Maarten was excited.Nl: Hij had gehoord over een oude schat, een antiek dat hier verborgen zou liggen.En: He had heard about an old treasure, an antique that was supposedly hidden here.Nl: Femke volgde hem, haar ogen alert en waakzaam.En: Femke followed him, her eyes alert and wary.Nl: Het pakhuis was oud en verlaten.En: The warehouse was old and deserted.Nl: Het had hoge muren en ramen die nauwelijks nog glas hadden.En: It had high walls and windows that barely had any glass left.Nl: Het licht viel in dunne stralen naar binnen en verlichtte de stofdeeltjes die in de lucht zweefden.En: The light fell in thin beams inside and illuminated the dust particles floating in the air.Nl: Overal lagen oude kratten en roestige machines.En: Old crates and rusty machines were everywhere.Nl: Maarten voelde zich als een ontdekkingsreiziger uit oude tijden.En: Maarten felt like an explorer from ancient times.Nl: "Maarten, moeten we dit echt doen?En: "Maarten, do we really have to do this?"Nl: " vroeg Femke, haar stem zacht maar vastberaden.En: asked Femke, her voice soft but determined.Nl: Maarten keek haar aan met een glimlach.En: Maarten looked at her with a smile.Nl: "Het komt wel goed, Femke.En: "It will be fine, Femke.Nl: We zullen voorzichtig zijn.En: We'll be careful."Nl: "Ze verkenden de donkere hoeken van het pakhuis, hun stappen echoënd op de koude stenen vloer.En: They explored the dark corners of the warehouse, their steps echoing on the cold stone floor.Nl: Plots stopte Maarten, zijn adem stokte en zijn gezicht werd rood.En: Suddenly, Maarten stopped, his breath caught and his face turned red.Nl: Hij hield zijn keel vast en probeerde te ademen.En: He clutched his throat and tried to breathe.Nl: Felke's hart sloeg een slag over.En: Femke's heart skipped a beat.Nl: "Maarten, wat is er aan de hand?En: "Maarten, what's wrong?"Nl: ""Ik.En: "I...Nl: ik weet het niet," stotterde Maarten.En: I don't know," stammered Maarten.Nl: Al snel begreep Femke dat hij een allergische reactie had.En: Soon Femke realized he was having an allergic reaction.Nl: Ze wist dat ze snel moest handelen.En: She knew she had to act quickly.Nl: Ze begon haastig te zoeken tussen de oude spullen, hopend op een EHBO-kit.En: She began hastily searching through the old items, hoping for a first aid kit.Nl: Na wat een eeuwigheid leek, vond ze een oude verbandtrommel in een kast.En: After what seemed like an eternity, she found an old first aid box in a cabinet.Nl: Haar handen trilden terwijl ze het opende.En: Her hands trembled as she opened it.Nl: Binnenin lagen oude verbanden en een doosje antihistaminica dat al lang over de datum was.En: Inside were old bandages and a box of antihistamines that was long past its expiration date.Nl: Ze keek naar Maarten, die steeds moeilijker ademhaalde.En: She looked at Maarten, who was breathing with more difficulty.Nl: "We moeten een keuze maken, Maarten.En: "We have to make a choice, Maarten.Nl: We kunnen het proberen.En: We can try it."Nl: "Met een lichte aarzeling gaf ze Maarten een van de pillen.En: With slight hesitation, she gave Maarten one of the pills.Nl: Minuten, die als uren leken, verstreken.En: Minutes, which seemed like hours, passed.Nl: Langzaam begon Maartens ademhaling te kalmeren.En: Slowly, Maarten's breathing began to calm.Nl: Hij leunde tegen de muur en sloot zijn ogen.En: He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.Nl: "Dat was eng," fluisterde hij.En: "That was scary," he whispered.Nl: Femke haalde diep adem en knikte.En: Femke took a deep breath and nodded.Nl: "We hebben geluk gehad," zei ze zacht.En: "We were lucky," she said softly.Nl: De schat was vergeten, de noodzaak om te ontsnappen overheerste.En: The treasure was forgotten, the urgency to escape prevailed.Nl: Ze hielpen elkaar voorzichtig uit het pakhuis, meer opgelucht dan teleurgesteld.En: They carefully helped each other out of the warehouse, more relieved than disappointed.Nl: Onderweg terug naar huis bedankte Maarten Femke zachtjes.En: On the way back home, Maarten quietly thanked Femke.Nl: "Sorry dat ik ons in deze situatie heb gebracht.En: "Sorry for bringing us into this situation.Nl: Je hebt echt ons leven gered.En: You really saved our lives."Nl: "Femke glimlachte.En: Femke smiled.Nl: "Wees de volgende keer voorbereid, Maarten.En: "Be prepared next time, Maarten.Nl: Veiligheid gaat voor alles.En: Safety comes first."Nl: "Die dag leerde Maarten dat avonturen niet altijd de moeite waard zijn zonder een goede voorbereiding.En: That day, Maarten learned that adventures aren't always worth it without proper preparation.Nl: En Femke besefte dat haar voorzichtigheid hen had gered.En: And Femke realized that her caution had saved them.Nl: Samen verlieten ze het avontuur achter zich, waardevoller dan hetgeen dat ze zochten.En: Together, they left the adventure behind, more valuable than what they were seeking.

The story follows the Simmons family as they search for a place to build their new home and dream of the community that will eventually grow around them.The program also features a performance by John Charles Thomas singing The Homeland.Original Air Date: February 14, 1951Family Doctor: Error in DiagnosisIn this episode of Family Doctor, Dr. Grant Adams treats Griff Miller, an elderly man struggling to make the interest payment on the mortgage for his family boathouse.When the mortgage holder, lawyer Ralph Bates, prepares to foreclose, Doc Adams comes up with an unusual solution. By convincing Bates that he has chicken pox and later poison oak, the country doctor buys Griff enough time to save his property.The story offers a humorous look at the traditional image of the country doctor as a trusted community figure who cared for more than just his patients' physical health.Original Air Date: 1937Guest Star: Time is SacredSpend New Year's Eve with Bill Cooper and Louise Marston, two office workers who become trapped in an elevator when the power goes out.As they realize that the elevator cable may not hold until help arrives, the two strangers discover that they have fallen in love.

more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-09-27-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A levelek aranyló színekben ragyogtak a budapesti botanikus kertben.En: The leaves shone in golden colors in the Budapest botanical garden.Hu: Az őszi szellő lágyan simogatta az út menti fákat.En: The autumn breeze gently caressed the trees along the path.Hu: A város zaja szinte teljesen eltűnt itt, ahol csak a szél suttogását és a fák susogását lehetett hallani.En: The noise of the city almost completely disappeared here, where one could only hear the whispering of the wind and the rustling of the trees.Hu: Bálint, egy 32 éves művész, gyakran járt ide sétálni.En: Bálint, a 32-year-old artist, often came here to walk.Hu: A természet mindig megnyugtatta őt.En: Nature always calmed him.Hu: Mostanában azonban valami furcsa érzés kínozta.En: Recently, however, he was tormented by a strange feeling.Hu: Mintha a világ zajai egyre távolibbnak tűntek volna számára.En: It was as if the noises of the world seemed increasingly distant to him.Hu: Néha nem hallotta a madarak énekét vagy az emberek beszélgetését.En: Sometimes he couldn't hear the birds singing or people talking.Hu: Egy napon, ahogy a kedvenc pihenőhelyén ült, meglátta Emesét, aki gyakran jött ide, hogy olvasson.En: One day, as he sat at his favorite resting spot, he saw Emese, who often came here to read.Hu: Bálint mindig csodálta a lányt.En: Bálint always admired the girl.Hu: Emese mosolya olyan volt, mint a napfény, meleg és kedves.En: Emese's smile was like sunshine, warm and kind.Hu: De Bálint inkább távolról figyelte őt, hiszen félt megszólítani.En: But Bálint preferred to watch her from a distance because he was afraid to approach her.Hu: Ahogy a nap melege lassan eltűnt az őszi levelek között, Bálint meghallotta Zsoltot, Emese barátját, amint közeledik.En: As the warmth of the day slowly vanished among the autumn leaves, Bálint heard Zsolt, Emese's friend, approaching.Hu: Bálint próbálta kihallani a beszélgetésüket, de egyre nehezebben értette.En: Bálint tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, but he found it increasingly difficult to understand.Hu: Zsolt hangját csak foszlányokban hallotta, mintha a világ halkan zárulna be körülötte.En: Zsolt's voice reached him only in fragments, as if the world was quietly closing around him.Hu: Ez az eset rávilágított Bálint problémájára.En: This incident shed light on Bálint's problem.Hu: El kellett ismernie magának: hallásproblémái vannak.En: He had to admit to himself: he had hearing problems.Hu: Félve a még nagyobb elszigeteltségtől, Bálint először el akarta ezt rejteni.En: Afraid of even greater isolation, Bálint initially wanted to hide it.Hu: De a természet szépsége, amit nem tudott teljesen élvezni, és az Emeséhez való közelség vágya változtatásra ösztönözte.En: But the beauty of nature, which he could not fully enjoy, and the desire to be close to Emese motivated him to change.Hu: Összeszedte a bátorságát, és harmatos léptekkel megközelítette Emesét.En: He gathered his courage and approached Emese with dewy steps.Hu: Amikor közelebb ért, megállt, és kissé dadogva megszólalt.En: When he got closer, he stopped and stuttered slightly as he spoke.Hu: "Emese, bocsáss meg, hogy zavarlak.En: "Emese, forgive me for bothering you.Hu: Problémám van a hallásommal, és emiatt még inkább bezárkózom… és még valami.En: I have a problem with my hearing, and because of it, I am closing myself off even more... and there's one more thing.Hu: Régóta szeretnélek megismerni.En: I've wanted to get to know you for a long time."Hu: "Emese felnézett a könyvéből.En: Emese looked up from her book.Hu: Szemei megértőn csillogtak.En: Her eyes shone with understanding.Hu: "Bálint, örülök, hogy megszólítottál.En: "Bálint, I'm glad you spoke to me.Hu: Bátor dolog volt ezt elmondani.En: It was brave of you to say this.Hu: Kérlek, ne félj segítséget kérni.En: Please, don't be afraid to ask for help."Hu: "A lány kedvessége megérintette Bálintot.En: The girl's kindness touched Bálint.Hu: Megértette, hogy nem szégyen segítséget kérni.En: He realized that it wasn't shameful to ask for help.Hu: Emese biztatására elhatározta, hogy orvoshoz fordul.En: Encouraged by Emese, he decided to visit a doctor.Hu: Abban is megegyeztek, hogy legközelebb együtt sétálnak a kertben.En: They also agreed to walk together in the garden next time.Hu: A nap végén Bálint már nem érzett akkora magányt.En: At the end of the day, Bálint no longer felt so lonely.Hu: Az egykor távolinak tűnő világ újra közel került hozzá.En: The world that once seemed distant was now close to him again.Hu: Úgy döntött, változtatni fog az életén.En: He decided to change his life.Hu: Megnyitotta a szívét, nemcsak hallásának, hanem a körülötte lévő emberek iránt is.En: He opened his heart, not just to his hearing, but to the people around him.Hu: Az ősz vibráló színei új reménységet hoztak életébe, s ez a kezdet valódi kapcsolatokhoz vezethetett.En: The vibrant colors of autumn brought new hope to his life, and this beginning could lead to genuine relationships.
