What happens

George Valentine receives a desperate call from Mrs. Laswell, whose husband has been plagued by mysterious accidents ever since a sinister voice telephoned her two weeks ago, whispering cryptically about "Symbol Three, the key to destiny." Two accidents have already occurred—the death of her husband's dog and a car crash involving their chauffeur—with the voice promising a third and final accident. George agrees to investigate and uncover the truth behind these seemingly impossible incidents.

The Laswell home and surrounding areas in an unnamed city.

Listen for: The mysterious telephone voice predicting accidents; George's investigation into the chauffeur's unexplainable car crash; the revelation of what Symbol Three truly means.

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.
