What happens
Jean Marshall, daughter of celebrated criminal lawyer William Marshall, meets Frank Girard in her father's waiting room and offers him a ride home. Their romance quickly deepens, and she begins staying out late, which troubles her stepmother, Sylvia. Girard has a bitter exchange with Sylvia in his apartment, and Jean plans a weekend trip with him. Sylvia confronts Jean and then Girard, and the story builds toward the night that threatens the Marshall household.

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.
