What happens
Private detective Chris Draper, short on money after a losing day at the track, is drawn into trouble when bookie Joey Galt is shot dead. Chris's partner, Laura Lee, a fellow private detective across the hall, is suddenly tangled up with the case, and a man named Pilsen, a cashier, enters the picture carrying a black bag. Chris is pursued by Mike Farrago, a collection man for Galt, and he has to deal with the police while trying to learn who is behind the shooting. The broadcast was a Suspense episode from April 24, 1947, starring Richard Conte.

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.
