What happens
Arthur Lockwood, a senior partner at the publishing firm Lockwood, Bentley and Walsh, finds his position slipping as his partners Sam Bentley and Dick Walsh move to push him out. When Bentley is found shot dead in his office, the evidence points toward Walsh, and Lockwood sees an opening to take control of the firm. He begins a relationship with Helen Conover, the firm's promotion head, who is in love with Walsh. The episode is an adaptation of the Suspense series, broadcast on January 30, 1947, with Van Heflin in the lead role.

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.
