Ed McMahon get a rare and quite brief appearance as a technical genius and business owner who someone wants dead ... and they make him dead in the first two minutes of the episode.
From there it becomes a semi-locked room mystery, except it's obvious he must have known and trusted his murderer and let him in. David Hedison and Arthur Godfrey are welcome sightings in the show, and I'd been a Hedison fan since his days on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
The episode adds an interesting touch in a young lady who's an aspiring author who wants some tips from Elery, who is reticent since he doesn't write romance. However, once she let's her hair down and helps solve the mystery, she becomes a more attractive prospect in a companion. ;-)
