What happens
Biff Grimes, a Brooklyn dentist, nurses an old grudge against his former friend Hugo Barnsfield, who once won the woman Biff loved, Virginia Brush. When Biff meets Virginia and Hugo again years later, Hugo has built a successful construction company, and Biff's resentment grows.

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.
