What happens
Radio reporter Larry Lawrence, a famous crime buster, is approached by Mary Carter, who has inherited Castillo Maldito, a castle on Black Island off the coast of Cuba, and fears it is haunted. Larry reluctantly agrees to accompany her after receiving threatening messages. Aboard ship to Cuba, they meet Jeff Montgomery, who warns them about the island's legends. Larry and Mary travel to the island, where the castle holds eerie sounds, a coffin, and an inscription that hints at a hidden key.

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.
