What happens
Dr. Warren Rice, a psychiatrist, is driving home when he meets Frankie Tatum, a convict who has just escaped from Greystone Penitentiary. Rice hides Tatum in his office annex, telling him he will study him as a subject while he arranges a getaway. Suspense is a radio drama series, and this episode aired on March 14, 1946. Paul Henry stars as Rice in No More Alice, a play written by Martin Ryerson, and the lead actor's name is given in the transcript. The episode's first part sets up Rice's troubled marriage to Alice and his growing tension with Tatum in the house.

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.
