What happens
The Whistler follows Dr. Kent and his wife Nora, who arrive at an American-owned mine in equatorial Africa, where the manager Paul Arnold is struggling with a deadly outbreak of fever among the workers. Paul and Nora have a troubled past together, and the tension between the three grows as the villagers turn against the mine. The Whistler series aired on September 18, 1944, and this episode is broadcast by CBS. The guide stops here, before the story's final turn.
A mine and village in equatorial Africa, where heavy rain falls and malaria spreads.
Characters: Paul Arnold, Dr. Kent, Nora Kent, Pepe, Osman, Ockman
Listen for: Dr. Kent's remarks about an unusual, deadly form of malaria, and the drums that sound from the village at night.
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.
