What happens
Vic Stanfield, a musician, and his new wife Thalia are staying at a Miami Beach hotel after marrying a month following the death of Carl Westover, a friend whose widow Thalia was. Vic is uneasy as Thalia refuses to sign over her property to him and mentions a mysterious telephone call. Meanwhile, a teenage girl named Arlene Foster, who has been seeing Vic, is distressed by the news of his marriage. Vic hires a private detective to watch Thalia, and tensions between the couple rise as Vic begins to fear she knows more than she admits.

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.
