What happens
Juvenile investigator McIntyre tries to help Jerry Baxter, a teenage former narcotics peddler released from correction school and sent to Oakland to work. Jerry is picked up by police in a stolen car containing narcotics and a gun, and claims a red-coated woman planted them. McIntyre believes him, but Jerry flees with the loaded gun, and a tense search through San Francisco follows. The episode is from the CBS radio series Suspense, aired on June 14, 1951, with Gregory Peck as the host and narrator.

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.
