Warning: Spoilers
****SPOILERS**** Ice is the price that's paid in this murder mystery involving this spring chicken of a wife-some 20 years younger then her husband-Anna Harris who lost her memory which had her witness the murder of her lover Bob a guitar playing motorcyclist wearing an ice bowl instead of a crash helmet who was gunned down by her husband Victor on his way to meet her in a secret rendezvous in the woods. It's Anna's shrink or psychiatrist the very concerned Dr. Michael "Dusty" Rhodes who get to the bottom of this mystery by applying out of body or Astro-Projection science to get Anna to retrieve her memory and expose her husband Victor as her lover Bob's killer.

We also get to see Anna's befuddled brother George get into the act by helping Dr. Rhodes find the place where Victor hid the evidence of his crime the ice-house that in the end he planned to put the annoying and pesky Anna away on ice for good. Victor who wasn't all there to begin with overplayed his hand and got cold feet when it was revealed by the very astute Dr. Rhodes that he wasn't playing with a full deck and proved it by trying to knock off him, as well as Anna and her brother George,as well.

One of Rod Serling "Night Gallery" clunker of an episode that just didn't quite cut it and was released as an episode of the "Sixth Sense" series that almost nobody bothered to watch anyway. Serling a four pack a day smoker who was on his way out, he died three years later from heart failure, was still able to be resurrected by the TV & movie producers in a number of specials and feature film documentaries some four years after her death in 1975 that despite him not being around to enjoy them that turned out to be some of his best works.

Cool episode
stones7829 October 2013
Get it? Cool, as in ice! You can stop laughing now. Anyway, this is a solid episode with a different twist and cool(another funny by me)subject matter, which has Dr. Rhodes investigating why a woman named Anna(Christine Belford)has a vision of a man on a motorcycle being shot by her husband Victor, played by an evil looking George Murdock. What I wanted to know(and we never find out in the edited version)is why Anna cheats on her husband in the first place? Even though he's a jerk, it doesn't seem that would be the main reason, but that question's never answered. Look for a familiar face in Bradford Dillman who portrays Anna's brother, George, although he doesn't have many scenes in this edited version, but he is integral for the outcome. I thought Belford was decent enough, but not memorable by any stretch, although Murdock was in fine form as a creep. Michael Pataki also starred, but we don't get to see him in this chopped up segment, and that's also unfortunate; also, look for Dr. Rhodes' ugly convertible Chevy. In conclusion, this was as solid as many others in this fine series, even considering a few questions went unanswered.
