What happens
Julie Lane, a nightclub singer in New York, is shaken after her former lover Leo Sanders reappears in her life. Leo, an out-of-work actor from St. Louis, wants Julie to help him win the attention of Gus Hackett, a powerful theatrical agent. Julie's jealous club manager, Pat Hoffman, has threatened to kill any man who bothers her. The Whistler, the Signal Oil radio program, presents the story in 1947, broadcast on March 10 of that year. The transcript ends before the story's outcome is settled.
New York City, 1940s: a restaurant on 56th Street, a party penthouse, a nightclub, and a Broadway theater.
Characters: Julie Lane, Leo Sanders, Gus Hackett, Pat Hoffman, Mel Franklin

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.
