What happens
Clara Marshall, a young woman wanted by Chicago police, joins elderly Harriet Wilson on a European tour as her trusted companion. In Pisa, a stranger named Raymond Hungate offers to escort the tour group to the Leaning Tower, then abruptly leaves them stranded in the fog and slips something into Clara's pocket. The Whistler series, broadcast on May 18, 1952, presents this story. The lead actors credited in the transcript include Betty Lou Gerson, Gerald Moore, Norma Varden, Jane Avello and Byron Payne. Clara finds a valuable diamond necklace in her coat and begins to consider its origin and the men who followed Hungate.

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.
