What happens
Max Tyler, a private detective, takes a job from Mrs. Townsend, a wealthy wife who suspects her husband, Bradley Townsend, of a secret affair. Tyler tails Townsend to a nightclub, where he sees the man meet a woman, and the discovery shocks him because he has feelings for her. Tyler goes to the woman's apartment and waits for her to return with Townsend. The episode is part of the Whistler series, originally broadcast on June 8, 1952, with Bill Forman in the title role. The story unfolds through Tyler's dealings with the women and with the investigating police lieutenant.

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.
