What happens
Colonel Henry Grayson and his wife Alma live in Washington, near the Pentagon. Their daughter Cindy receives a wonderful doll named Toto from the shop of Perigee, rented rather than sold. After the family dog dies and secret army papers disappear from Henry's strong box, the household begins to suspect the doll. The episode is from the NBC series X Minus One, first broadcast on January 18, 1956. The cast includes Denise Alexander, John Alexander, Les Damon, Joe DeSantis, and Leon Janney as the doll Toto.

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.
