What happens
In the English village of Hemsley, Sarah Bolton and her sister Enid share their home with a lodger, Mr. Pembroke. A constable warns them that a wounded bandit who stole ten thousand pounds from a London bank may be hiding nearby. That night, Mr. Pembroke finds a cufflink with the initials of the bandit, Chester Loomis, and a body is discovered in the house. Sarah is drawn into a tense partnership with Pembroke over the stolen money. This is an episode of The Whistler, a radio series, first broadcast on September 24, 1950.

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.
