This time it's Jackie Cooper. Last time it was Cliff Robertson. And again there is a ventriloquist's dummy that is smarter than these guys. They are also vengeful and evil. They are the smart ones too. In this episode Jackie has a phony Irish accent. He is immigrant stock that has come by a dummy. He lives in a small apartment. He is down on his luck and needs money badly. The dummy talks him into robbing a nightclub where he has auditioned. Thrown into the mix is a bad seed child, a mean tempered little brat who listens at keyholes and talks down to adults. It's a ridiculous episode with motivations that don't even fit well in this strange fantasy world. You can only go so far with the threatening visage of a block of wood.
