What happens
John Prentice, a busy manufacturer, is haunted by a dream in which a voice tells him he will be murdered within 48 hours. His wife Clara and daughter Eva grow alarmed, and his fiance Dwight Cooper, Eva's fiance, is drawn in when a threatening phone call follows. Captain Arnold arrives to investigate, and John reluctantly declines to name a business rival with whom he quarrelled. As midnight approaches, the household waits anxiously while Dwight pursues his own inquiries into the argument and the family fears for John's life. This guide stops before the final revelations and does not say how the story resolves.

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.
