What happens
Anne Waldron returns by boat to a small island off the Massachusetts coast in heavy fog, where she is greeted by a mysterious newcomer, David Hyland, and by Leonard Case, a former friend. Marra Van Wick, Leonard's estranged wife, is found dead in her house with a poison-laced match near her hand. Elisha Macumber, the island's selectman, begins questioning the residents, and suspicion falls on several people as strange clues and a buried suitcase come to light.

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.
