What happens
David and Dorothy drive along a country road on Long Island while a radio bulletin warns of an escaped, dangerous middle-aged woman from a metal hospital. A roadblock and rising fear build as their car runs low on fuel in a storm. Stranded in dark woods, they hear noises outside and begin to suspect every stranger they meet. The episode is an installment of the Suspense series, first broadcast on January 4, 1954, starring Frank Lovejoy.
Long Island, New York, on a rainy night in the woods along a lonely country road
Characters: David, Dorothy, Nellie Gulla
Listen for: The radio newscast about the escaped woman, and the moment David and Dorothy hear something moving outside their stranded car.
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.
