What happens
Harry Lime investigates a stolen blue caribou, a valuable piece of antique pottery, after the American Jennifer Chase asks him for help. Lime is in the Italian town of Rimini, near the mountaintop Republic of San Marino, where he has been approached by a fortune teller who predicted the meeting. Lime visits an antique shop on the main piazza, follows the trail of the stolen pottery, and draws the attention of a large, fat man and a shopkeeper named Condone. The episode is from The Mercury Theatre on the Air, first broadcast on July 18, 1952, and features Orson Welles as Harry Lime.

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.
