What happens
Alan, a lawyer from Greenville, South Carolina, is approached at a New York train station by a young woman who passes him coded instructions quoting Alice in Wonderland. Following the address he was given, he meets a suspicious man who points him toward an unlawful job. Lieutenant Healy drives him to the address, where workers say nothing is amiss, but Alan returns alone that evening to check the hidden meaning of the instructions. The episode is part of the Suspense radio series and was broadcast on October 27, 1952, starring Cornell Wild.

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.
