What happens
Jim Mason returns with his wife Laura and friends Mona Williams and Peter Bennett to a remote Swiss inn run by Hershmit Schmidt, where guide Stefan awaits. Jim wakes from a nightmare in which someone cuts Laura's climbing rope, and his tense feelings toward his wife and Mona are gradually revealed. Laura nearly falls from a rocky ledge and Jim saves her, and the party prepares for a climb up the gray cloud peaks. The episode is part of the Whistler series, which aired on March 11, 1951.

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.
