What happens
Brick Delaney, a construction gang boss building a highway through mountains in the South West, works alongside Artie Finch, whose jealousy over his wife Lola grows tense on the job. Artie insists on packing dynamite himself, and when an explosion kills him, Delaney is suspected of murder and begins doubting his own sanity. Sheriff Kellcher examines the evidence and questions Lola, while Delaney struggles to separate what he remembers from what he fears. The episode is from the Suspense series, first aired November 26, 1961, starring Don McLaughlin.
A highway construction site in the mountains of the American Southwest, and the nearby town.
Characters: Brick Delaney, Artie Finch, Lola Finch, Pedro, Sheriff Kellcher, Pop Wilkes
Listen for: Artie's two whistle signals before the blast, and Pedro's account of what he did and did not hear.
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.
