What happens
Brent Morrison, a commercial artist, works late with his assistant Elaine Nelson, whose jealous husband Joe arrives at the studio. A struggle leaves Joe dead from a gun that was unloaded moments before, and Elaine turns on Brent, accusing him of murder. Brent flees the police and crashes his car into a quarry, then hides in the small village of Kentville under the name Roy Webb. The episode is an installment of the radio series The Whistler, with leads Hal Hays and Betty Lou Gerson, and its opening section sets up Brent's flight and new life.

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.
