What happens
Harry Blake, a taxi driver, finds a wallet containing $12,000 in his cab and brings it home to his wife, Helen. Their marriage is strained, and Helen soon pressures Harry to keep the money, while the wallet belongs to Sidney Walker, a news commentator who is a regular passenger. Harry and Helen argue over whether to return it, and the situation grows tense as the hour of Walker's broadcast approaches. This episode of Suspense, first broadcast on June 29, 1950, stars Cathy and Elliot Lewis.

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.
