US Senator William Townsend (Kent Smith), the head of a right-wing extremist group, has been assassinated. Confessing to the crime is Andreas Solowiechek (David Sheiner), a member of a Communist Trade delegation, who insists that he was acting on orders from his own government. In truth, however, the assassination was engineered by Townsend's own followers, who hope to spark a dangerous international incident. It is up to the IMF to force Solowiechek to change his tune. First telecast on February 25, 1967, "The Confession" was written by William Read Woodfield and Allan Balter.
