What happens
Phil Alexander, a trusted assistant at Minnick's jewelry store, is deep in debt to gambler Al Fereno and needs $10,000 quickly. When store owner James Minnick suspects his secretary Elizabeth Patton of stealing, Phil sees a chance to pin the crimes on her. Elaine Clyde's valuable gems are to be kept in the store vault, and Phil plans to take them. The Whistler series aired on August 12, 1951, with Bill Foreman in the lead role. Phil's scheme depends on Elizabeth being blamed for the loss.

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.
