Barry Morse stars as pompous Theater critic Fitzgerald Fortune, who is looking for a present for his young wife Esther(played by Joan Hackett) and chances upon an old player piano in a curio shop. Fitzgerald discovers to his delight that the piano seems to be haunted, and whenever it plays its sheet music forces someone nearby to tell the truth about themselves, which he plans to use on his wife and unsuspecting dinner guests, but doesn't count on the tables being turned... Though similar in theme to earlier 'The Whole Truth', this episode is stronger due to a fine performance by Barry Morse playing a most unlikable man who gets his much earned comeuppance.
