The driver describes collecting tickets from three passengers, John Willard, a young woman, and a man named Kenniston, as the bus leaves an asylum. Shortly after departure, guards with rifles stop the bus, searching for an escaped inmate named Greg. The passengers begin to suspect one another, and the driver grows uneasy about the group. The episode is a Suspense play from June 27, 1946, with Elliot Reed starring.

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.
