What happens
Boston Blackie investigates the murder of a small-time racketeer known as the Eel, whose death ties to a counterfeit sweepstakes ticket scheme. Blackie suspects the killer resembles movie star George Allen and calls Allen east to help set a trap. Inspector Faraday accompanies Blackie as the case moves toward the airport arrival of Allen. The story is broadcast on the Boston Blackie series, which aired as a Ziv syndication program; this episode originally aired July 21, 1948, starring Chester Morris and Richard Lane, with Jan Miner and Lesley Woods also in the cast.

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.
