What happens
Jimmy Valentine, a safecracker, is released from Sing Sing prison and tries to start honest work, but each job he seeks is lost once his prison record comes out. Detective Doyle keeps a close watch on him, and Valentine's old partner Red shows up. In Glendale, Valentine takes a job as a teller at the Farmers Bank under the name Lee Randall, after meeting Mary Lane, the daughter of the bank's president. The series is Lux Radio Theatre, and this production, starring Pat O'Brien and Madge Evans, was broadcast on November 9, 1936.

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.
