The Screen Guild Theater presents this 1943 broadcast of the Lady Esther series, starring George Brent, Alice Faye and Alan Jocelyn.

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.
