What happens
Newlyweds John Loomis and his bride Betty travel by train to his family's estate. Along the way John keeps tying pieces of string into nooses and gives Betty a gun, warning her to use it on him if he ever tries to strangle her. At the estate, John and Betty find a freshly dug grave in the family cemetery bearing Betty's name. John's uncle, Everard, explains a long-standing family legend of a curse. The Inner Sanctum Mysteries is a radio series, and this episode was broadcast on April 23, 1946. Betty and John are played by John Banks and Richard Whitmer. The story is written by Emil Tepelman.

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.
