What happens
Bradford Galt, a private investigator in New York, is shadowed by a man in a white suit after an evening out with his secretary Kathleen. When a rival, Anthony Jardine, turns up connected to an earlier crime from Galt's past in San Francisco, the case grows more tangled. Lux Radio Theatre presents this 1947 broadcast of The Dark Corner, starring Lucille Ball and Mark Stevens, first aired on November 10, 1947. Galt pursues the threat while Kathleen grows increasingly involved in his affairs, and the danger closes in around them as Jardine's network of associates becomes clearer.
New York City in the late 1940s, including Galt's office, Jardine's apartment, a restaurant, and the homes of the wealthy art-world circle around Ralph Wicked.

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.
