What happens
Elwood Fitch and his wife Catherine, desperate after a doctor's warning, hit a pedestrian with their car and then conceal the crash rather than call police. A blackmailer named Jack Chandler forces his way into their lives, and the couple finds themselves increasingly trapped in a web of threats, violence, and a stolen thousand dollars. The episode is from the Inner Sanctum Mysteries radio series, broadcast on May 7, 1946, and is presented with its usual host and sponsor framing.
A city in the United States, including the Fitch home, a neighborhood garage, and nearby streets at night.
Characters: Elwood Fitch, Catherine Fitch, Jack Chandler, Detective Farley, Dan, Stinger
Listen for: Listen for Chandler's blackmail demands and the tension as Elwood and Catherine try to get rid of him.
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.
