Fantastic.

Jacques Futrelle was tapped 9 times by CBSRMT for adaptations of his stories. They stand out as stories with innovative twists. (interesting trivia: he died on the Titanic.)

Robert

It is so true. People get addicted to these charlatans. Even though, he was informed that his life was in danger and that this couple had nefarious plans for him, he returned to them because "they were his best friends." It is a sad commentary on mystics and mediums. Many people( often grief stricken) still want to believe even when they are shown evidence of the fraud.

Celine

Well stated. You have a very accurate knowledge of what unfortunately happens too frequently, and often with otherwise intelligent and logical people.

Great Episode, Grew up listening to all these in the 1970s and 1980s. My older Brothers would play these at 10-11pm when we slept on front porch! Ahh the good ole days. 😊👌😆

Unless I was in a deep trance, there wasn't anything in this episode about a woman vanishing. Everything else in the plot information was correct, though.
