What happens
Insurance investigator Johnny Dollar is called to the office of Mort Parkinson, who reveals that Ed Morgan, a trusted company claims chief who died in a car accident off a San Francisco cliff, had secretly embezzled nearly $80,000 from the firm. Dollar reluctantly agrees to travel to San Francisco to look into the matter. He begins at the Drigg Arms, an expensive apartment building where Morgan had been living lavishly, and learns that Morgan had a close relationship with a recently widowed woman, Mrs. Barron, who has since left the building.

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.
