What happens
In the frontier town of Laramie, Wyoming, in 1869, Annie Morgan, a schoolteacher from Philadelphia, buys a riverside lot at a land auction run by lawyer Stephen Lewis for the ruthless landowner Jim Cork. Cork's men try to intimidate bidders, and Annie, who has come west with her parents' inheritance, refuses to be pushed aside. Stephen and Annie begin a tentative friendship as Cork's grip on the town tightens. The episode is the Lux Radio Theatre production broadcast on June 16, 1941, starring Loretta Young, Robert Preston and Edward Arnold.

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.
