What happens
Frank Seto, the brains behind a failed border swindle, has fled San Diego after double-crossing his associates and hidden $70,000 in a baggage checkstand. In Los Angeles he spots his former associate Wally Neil on a television quiz show, then forces Wally into a meeting on a freeway bridge. Frank is convinced he must silence anyone who knows about the money, and he begins to spend cash from the wallet he takes. The Whistler presents this episode of the series, first broadcast on August 11, 1955.
San Diego and Los Angeles, California, including a railroad yard, a shabby hotel, a television station, and a Hollywood hotel

Listen for: The moment Frank realizes that the money he has been spending was marked, and the detective's explanation of it.
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.
