Their conversation turns to Ruthie's behavior and the small clues Vic has picked up on. This is an episode of the Vic and Sade series, first aired on July 1, 1940, with Bernardine Flynn and Bill Idelson in the leading roles.

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.
