What happens
Al Gisant, a publicity man, runs a promotion for the Bureau of Better Business for the Fourth of July weekend, rewarding the one millionth passenger through an airport gate. The contest brings out a mild-mannered traveler, A. D. Thompson, and a glamorous blonde, Vera Valerie, who both claim the prize. Gisant soon learns of a newspaper report about a robbery and murders near Houston, and he begins to suspect Thompson. The episode is from the Suspense series, which first aired on 1950-06-22 and starred Jack Carson.

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.
