What happens
Edward Mansell and his wife John are convalescing in a remote cottage on the moor after Edward's stroke. A threatening note warns of Verington Howard, an escaped and dangerous maniac, and a visitor named George Beale arrives offering help. The couple accompany a constable toward Buckworth, then return to the cottage and barricade themselves inside to wait for the night to pass. The transcript ends before the events of the night are resolved. This is the Suspense episode A Little Matter of Memory, first broadcast on September 30, 1954, and it stars Lawrence Dobkin as Edward and Paula Winslow as John.

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.
