Roger Stanford concots a fiendish plan to bump his Uncle off, and get his hands on the lucrative family business.
Perhaps my least favourite of the first six episodes, it's solid, but compared to the previous five, I just found this one a little slow in parts. The case itself was intriguing enough and fairly imaginative, the realisation was just too pedestrian, best of all is the entertaining and dramatic ending.
It looks great, it's well filmed, and the cable car scenes look great.
Roddy McDowall is great here as Stanford, it's nice to see him playing a bad guy, and he does it with real vigour. Ida Lupino, good, maybe the screen great was perhaps somewhat underused here.
William Windom and Anne Francis are both rather good, being the adoring Murder, she wrote fan that I am, it's good to see Seth with dark hair and pre Cabot Cove.
6/10.
