What happens
Eddie, a hot-tempered lodger, quarrels with his landlord Mr. Waters over unpaid rent during a gathering storm. The fight turns deadly, and Eddie hides in the attic of the boarding house while the police arrive. Trapped in the house, he creeps about in fear, trying to find a way out and reaching for the keys. Henry Fonda plays Eddie in this Suspense episode, which first aired on October 18, 1945.

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.
