What happens
Tony Murillo, a wax sculptor, runs a workshop full of lifelike figures of murderers, and he has become obsessed with the sense that one of them, a wax devil, moves about on its own. His girlfriend Tina grows drawn to a mysterious stranger whose face Tony was hired to rebuild in wax. Tony suspects the stranger is the devil itself and begins to lose his grip on what is real. The episode is part of the Inner Sanctum Mysteries series and was first broadcast on October 10, 1949. Mason Adams plays Tony and John Banks plays Tina.
A wax figure workshop in the city, with a refrigeration room and a loft, and a harbor front and park in the east end.

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.
