What happens
George Bellock manages a lumberyard for Henry Grover, who returns from a two-month trip with a new wife, Marie. George has secretly been running an illegal gambling room in the warehouse, and when Henry learns of it, he demands that it close. Marie and George begin to plot against Henry, and their scheme turns toward a painting job on the house. This is a suspense play from the Suspense series, first broadcast on March 23, 1950, starring Ronald Reagan.

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.
