What happens
Michael Dawson wakes to a police call saying his Pontiac convertible has been stolen, and he finds the car wrecked with his wife Margaret's body in the trunk. Insurance man Tommy Castle drives him to the police garage, where the discovery shakes Michael badly. The story then moves back through his marriage to Judy, a jealous and possessive new wife whose secret outings and suspicious behavior trouble him. Heard on the CBS series Suspense, which aired on April 17, 1947, with Lloyd Nolan in the lead role.

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.
