What happens
In New Orleans, Louise, a young woman living with her grandfather Dr. Philip, is found feeding pigeons that are dying of poison. Her suitor Eugene Owen begins to suspect her, and she is drawn to a slaughterhouse at night. Strange episodes and whispered voices trouble Louise as she learns about her family's past. The series Inner Sanctum Mysteries first aired on January 29, 1946, with Mercedes McCambridge and Carl Swenson starring in this original play by Robert Newman, Blood of Cain.

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.
