What happens
Ronnie Warren, a piano player in a downtown club, is approached by Anna, an old flame he has not seen in years. She asks for his help with a supposed fur theft that she says will let her and her boyfriend Frank start a new life elsewhere. Ronnie agrees to help her, and the two go to a fur storage shop at night, where he begins to notice that things are not what Anna has described. The episode is a 1961 installment of the radio series Suspense, first broadcast October 29, 1961, with Larry Haines and Terry Keene starring in the story written by George Bamber.
A downtown piano bar and a fur storage shop, with the story unfolding over a few nights in an unnamed city.
Characters: Ronnie Warren, Anna, Frank, Leo
Listen for: Anna's request for help and Ronnie's growing suspicion as he begins to realize that the fur theft is not what she described.
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.
