What happens
Stephen Fox, a gambler, is put off a riverboat onto a sandbar in the Mississippi and rescued by Mike Farrell, a boat captain. In New Orleans he meets Odile Dassano, a proud and beautiful woman, at a charity ball, and the two spar over his reputation and her family's pride. Fox continues to gamble, and his games with the planter Otto Ludenbach lead to a tense confrontation. This Lux Radio Theatre adaptation of the 20th Century Fox film The Foxes of Harrow was broadcast on December 6, 1948, starring Maureen O'Hara and John Hodiak.

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.
