What happens
Robbie, a young supermarket assistant, plays poker with his older friend Dutch after a night out. Dutch becomes fixated on the idea of robbing the store's owner, Mr. Harris, by taking the Friday night cash deposit to the bank. Robbie is tempted, especially after being left short of money and feeling pressure to impress Sandra, a co-worker he hopes to date. Dutch and Sandra draw Robbie deeper into the scheme. This episode of Suspense is an original radio drama written by Walter Black, and it aired on May 8, 1960. Larry Robinson plays Robbie, and George Matthews plays Dutch.

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.
