What happens
A traveler named Lockwood is caught in a snowstorm on the moors and takes shelter at Wuthering Heights, an isolated old manor house. The servant Ellen tells him the story of the household, beginning with the arrival of a homeless gypsy boy, Heathcliff, adopted by Mr. Earnshaw. Heathcliff grows up alongside Kathy, the Earnshaws' daughter, and the two form a deep bond despite the cruelty of Kathy's brother Hindley. The episode is a Lux Radio Theatre broadcast of Emily Bronte's novel, aired November 4, 1940, with Ida Lupino as Kathy and Basil Rathbone as Heathcliff.

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.
