What happens
Ken Braddock and his old friend Tom Barton move from St. Augustine, Florida, to New York after Ken's wife Helen arranges him a copywriting job. Tom, who believes he is dying, finishes a mystery novel and asks Ken to deliver it to Helen's brother, a literary agent. Ken reads the manuscript and sees its potential, and he sets out to pass it off as his own. The episode is part of The Whistler series, broadcast in 1946 with its standard cast of players.

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.
