Let's be honest, many episodes of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" are predictable, kind of dull and offer little true suspense. This episode however, is definitely a cut above, right down to the ending.
A timid guy gets a ticket in a nit-picky little town for jaywalking, and then arrested for trying to bribe his way out of it. Another prisoner is suspected of murdering a nice girl, and a mob is coming. Through odd circumstance, the suspect manages to switch clothes with the jaywalker, who fears he will be the one the mob will lynch and he goes into a panic.
However, lo and behold, it doesn't exactly end the way you think it would from there, and actually offers a few more surprises. Now I'm not saying this is a classic bit of old timey television necessarily, but it is worth a viewing.
