What happens
John Hendricks, serving time for the murder of his wife and stepson, has a plan to get out of prison and recover money he hid. Bill Smith, a fellow inmate, is asked to help him escape. Later, a young couple, George Kimball and his wife Joan, are caught in a storm and seek shelter at a deserted-looking house on a lonely country road, where a woman and her son take them in. Strange events unfold as the couple tries to make sense of the house and its occupants. The Whistler series aired this episode on December 19, 1943.

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.
