What happens
Nick Crawford returns home to Easton after three years in the army to find his sister Jane in fear and her husband Johnny Stewart shot dead on a street corner. Threatening notes arrive at the house, and witnesses to the killing are being beaten or bombed. Nick goes to the police, then questions his brother-in-law's employer, Osborn, and the townspeople, who avoid him as the whole town seems gripped by fear. The episode is an installment of the radio series Suspense, first broadcast on September 27, 1955, and features Harry Bartell in the lead role.

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.
