What happens
Mark Heston, who has changed his name and left his past behind in Cleveland, flies back to visit his identical twin brother Tommy Jardine, who is scheduled for execution the following night. At the Blue Hour bar, a hat-check boy takes a five-dollar tip from Mark, and later Mark finds himself visiting death row with Jackie Kavanaugh. Tommy's behavior seems erratic, and as the warden's staff prepare for the execution, Mark begins to suspect that something unusual is happening inside the prison. The broadcast is part of the Suspense series, with Carl Swenson in the lead role, and the episode originally aired on February 23, 1958.

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.
