What happens
Ruth Walker, secretary to jeweler Charles Verdon, begins a secret affair with her employer, who is still married. When her former partner Fred Markle learns of it and plans a holdup of Verdon, Ruth tips off the police. Verdon is later found dead. Ruth becomes engaged to Verdon's nephew Bob Paxford, but a visit from Markle draws her into another shooting. The Whistler's broadcast of She Wanted Too Much aired on May 16, 1954, and the episode is part of the long-running series.
A jewelry store and apartment building in a city, a blue hills hotel, a cliffside spot overlooking the sea, and a racetrack.

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.
