What happens
Jefferson Casey, a drifter, arrives in the small prairie town of Marcus Junction on a hot Saturday morning and has his shoes taken to be repaired. Sheriff Benjamin Maxwell, a large and friendly man, takes him for coffee at the restaurant next door. There Jefferson meets Rachel, a waitress, and drinks with her upstairs in her apartment. Later he wakes disoriented, finds Rachel dead, and runs in fear, unable to remember what happened. Suspense: Too Hot to Live, a 1959 episode of the Suspense series, stars 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.
