Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Even as respected small-town banker Wyndham Roberts (Meredith Edwards) is seated in his regular pew during Sunday morning church services, several miles away a man claiming to be Wyndham Roberts is confessing the murder of a child to Constable John Jones (Clifford Evans). With irrefutable evidence in hand, Jones has no choice but to arrest Roberts. But his friends and fellow parishioners protest that Roberts could not possibly be guilty: at the time of the murder, several people saw him sitting in church, fast asleep. This is one of several One Step Beyond episodes filmed in England.
