What happens
Steve Henshaw, an escaped convict, is pulled from the icy channel after a police chase and is taken aboard a cabin cruiser owned by George Gromec and his wife Melody. The couple brings him to a salvage barge at Skull Island, where he is offered a place to hide. Steve is soon drawn into a search for money from a sunken gambling ship, and tensions rise among the three. The episode is from The Whistler, a mystery series sponsored by Signal Oil, first broadcast on January 15, 1950.

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.
