What happens
Captain Philip Carney and his first officer, Red Gallagher, sail the catch Scarlet Queen into Honolulu Harbor under cover of darkness, avoiding port officials. A wealthy man named Bradbury invites them aboard for tea and offers them a valuable white jade Buddha to sell in the city. Carney and Gallagher take the statue to a curio dealer, Luji Shen, but find him murdered. Carney soon learns that a rival operation is working against him, and the trail leads through a bar, a seaside cottage, and several betrayals. The series The Voyage of the Scarlet Queen, which first aired on July 10, 1947, is the setting for this episode.

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.
