What happens
Captain Frank Tenelli, commander of the 21st Precinct, is called back from a night out at the theater when three escaped bank robbers are reported hiding in an apartment on East 69th Street. Patrolman Johnny Powell passed along the tip after a boy named Richie told him about the men across the hall. Lieutenant King plans a raid, and Tenelli questions Lois Doney, who rented rooms to the men. When her account suggests the men might be armed and ready to resist, the operation is moved up to the earlier hours. The episode is part of the 21st Precinct series, which first aired on July 7, 1953.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
