What happens
Lydia Winters, after a hasty marriage to Elliot Larkin on New Year's Eve, learns from her late uncle Philip's strange will that the couple must live together for ten years to receive a $500,000 legacy. Her husband is unreliable and money is short, and their situation grows tense. The Whistler, a mystery anthology on the Signal Oil program, presents this story, which was first broadcast on December 31, 1947.

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.
