What happens
Pepe Lemoko, a criminal who has lived for two years in the Casbah, the native quarter of Algiers, is the target of the police. Inspector Slimane vows to arrest him, and an American visitor is drawn into the story. Gabrielle, a young woman travelling with her fiance Andre, is taken to the Casbah by the inspector, where she meets Pepe. The Lux Radio Theatre presents this adaptation of the motion picture Algiers, starring Loretta Young and Charles Boyer, with J. Carol Nash and Jean Lockhart in supporting roles. The broadcast aired on 1942-12-14, and the dramatization is introduced by producer Cecil B. DeMille.

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.
