Dan Durye plays Charles in this Suspense episode, first broadcast on January 9, 1947, under the sponsorship of Roma Wines. The story follows Charles's efforts to keep his scheme hidden as the investigation closes in around him.

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.
