What happens
Charles Morris, a real estate man in Chicago, wakes from a blow to the head with no memory of who he is, and a bartender insists he is a regular named Chuck. Believing he is actually a man named Walters from New York, he travels there to search for his wife, Helen, and tries to piece together his past. The series is Suspense, and this episode was first broadcast on July 23, 1961. Bernard Grant stars, in a story written for the series by Alan Sloan.
Chicago and New York City, 1961 and 1957
Characters: Charles Morris, Mr. Marsh, Mr. Walters, Helen, Frank, Clippert Shaw, Miss Porter, Sam
Listen for: Pay attention to the bartender's insistence on the man's name and habits, and to the desk sergeant's card that lists Walters' name.
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.
