He recruits a small-time crook named Gil to do the job for him and arranges for the guard George to be distracted. The story is part of the Suspense radio series, first broadcast on March 15, 1959, and stars Frank Lovejoy.

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.
