What happens
Larry Sims is nearly run down on a lonely road by a speeding car with its lights off, and he is sure it was Fred Belton, a man recently released on parole. Shaken, Larry goes to Mildred Carson, who suggests he hide out in an empty apartment. Mildred then learns that Fred is looking for Larry and that he has been carrying a gun, and she begins to plan around these facts. The episode is from The Whistler, a mystery series, and was first broadcast on February 25, 1951.
A city in the early 1950s, including a dark country road, apartment buildings, and a city park.

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.
