What happens
A new liquor clerk at a Los Angeles supermarket becomes entangled with Mary, the checkout girl, who is married to Andy Cross, the butcher. Cross grows jealous and suspicious, and the clerk, Harry, becomes uneasy about the situation and about the vegetable man, Nick Arnold, who warns him to leave Mary alone. The story is part of the Suspense series, first broadcast on December 29, 1957, starring William Conrad and Kathy Lewis. The transcript is incomplete, so the story's later events are not described here.

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.
