What happens
Richard Brown, a bank clerk, receives a telephone installed in his apartment and begins getting calls meant for a woman named Isabelle LaRue. Intrigued, he starts to track her down, and his search takes him to the Beverly Towers, a bar called the Blue Bottle, and a dangerous encounter in room 903. The play is an episode of the CBS series Suspense, first broadcast on November 3, 1949, and features Red Skelton in the lead role. Brown's pursuit pulls him further into a situation he does not understand, and his persistence puts him at real risk.

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.
