What happens
Peggy Evans, a soda fountain clerk at a small change store in Hotchkiss Falls, feels her dull life has no adventure. After an unlucky incident with her boss, Mr. Stewart, she resolves to disappear. The episode is from the Lux Radio Theatre series, originally broadcast on October 25, 1943, and stars Lana Turner and Victor Mature with Gene Lockhart. Peggy's story unfolds as she takes a new identity and finds herself at the center of a newspaper's attention, while a man who believes he is responsible for her disappearance begins searching for her.

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.
