What happens
Three lighthouse keepers, Louis, August and the narrator, tend a lonely light on a rock off a tropical coast. One dawn a derelict three-master drifts toward the key, and the men watch it come closer until they see that it is covered in rats. The rats swarm up the tower and attack the keepers, and the men struggle to survive inside the glass lantern room. Vincent Price stars in this Suspense episode, broadcast on November 11, 1956, in the series produced and directed by William Robson.

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.
