What happens
Angela, newly hired as housekeeper at the remote Cromwell estate, meets the butler Victor Hammersmith, who is charming and attentive. The Cromwells keep to themselves and receive no visitors, and Victor has drawn up strict conditions for the household. Angela soon becomes entangled with Victor and his plans for the household and its wealth. This is an episode of the radio series Suspense, first broadcast on November 12, 1961, starring Reynolds Osburn and Theresa Bauer. The story is written by Peter Fernandez.
A remote, lonely estate in the country, reached by a long walk from town, with a drawing room, dining room, basement, attic and a plum orchard.
Characters: Angela, Victor Hammersmith, Mr. Charles Cromwell, Mrs. Agnes Cromwell, Paul Mason, Lieutenant
Listen for: Victor's plan for the estate and the household's fortune, and the arrival of a young man looking for his father.
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.
