What happens

George Valentine receives a letter from Henry Crichton, an artist's representative, offering a substantial fee to find Carol Gordon, a glamorous movie star from the 1920s who disappeared from the limelight. When Crichton is found dead, George suspects the case may be connected to locating the missing actress. George devises a plan to show one of Carol Gordon's old silent films at a Skid Row movie theater to draw her out.

A city with a Skid Row district, including George Valentine's office, a police station, and Gabrennian's Cameo Theater on Skid Row.

Characters: George Valentine, Miss Brooks, Lieutenant Croix, Henry Crichton, Mr. Gibrennian, Anthony Chapman

Listen for: George's clever strategy of using a silent film revival to search for a missing actress, and the mysterious visitors drawn to the theater showing Carol Gordon's old movie.

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.
