Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Wandering into the police station with a huge amount of money but absolutely no memory, a young girl (Cindy Robbins) sparks the interest and concern of detectives Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander). With the help of a police psychiatrist (William Henry), the pretty amnesiac is able to piece the past 48 hours together--with surprising results. This episode was cowritten by John Meredyth Lucas, later a principal contributor to the 1960s private-eye series Mannix (which, incidentally, also featured a number of "amnesia" stories).
