Jackie Cooper stars as a talented ventriloquist with a horrible act, and even worse luck. He is also quite gullible and stupid, which his evil dummy Caesar will exploit for full advantage to pull off some robberies, though a rotten little girl(played by a young Morgan Brittany) has her own agenda... Appalling episode is without doubt the low point of the series. It isn't the actors or direction, but the atrocious script, which is entirely unoriginal('The Dummy' was a masterpiece), pointless, dramatically stale and repugnantly nihilistic, with a lead character too dumb to care about, and the evil doll enlisting that spoiled brat to continue more mayhem. Quite contrary to the normally just endings the series specialized at, this seemed to ooze out of the darkest corner of the Twilight Zone...
