What happens
Herman Milford plans to murder his wife Joe, and the story follows his carefully arranged scheme. On a July morning, Herman packs Joe into a trunk, bound and gagged, intending to dump her body in a lake at their cabin. The episode is part of the Suspense series, first broadcast on February 7, 1956. Herman's plan begins to unravel as the luggage is collected and the family travels toward the cabin, with the trunk riding along with them.

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.
