synopsis
Having had a premonition of disaster, Mary Summers (Phyllis Thaxter) begs her husband Arthur (Paul Langton) not to leave her home alone while he goes out of town on business. But oafish Arthur thinks that Mary is being ridiculous, and refuses her request. Sure enough, the moment Mary is alone, the house is invaded by escaped mental patient Ted Lambert (George Grizzard)...and the surprising results of this plot twist helped earn an Emmy award for the episode's scriptwriter, James Cavanagh.
