What happens
Mark Douglas lives alone with his second wife Lorraine in an isolated house on a rocky New England peninsula. Mark has grown increasingly fearful, and Lorraine, who is losing patience with him, hears a woman screaming in the night. Mark insists that she stay close, and his unsettling behavior raises questions about the death of his first wife. Lorraine turns to Richard Belmont, a friend of the household, and the strain of the isolated house begins to grow. Inner Sanctum Mysteries, first broadcast on August 9, 1948, is presented with Santos Ortega as Mark and Charlotte Holland as Lorraine.
A lonely house on a rocky peninsula in New England, where the sea and storms isolate the household.

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.
