Museum piece
12 May 2022
A mildly diverting tale about Mr. Hollister who runs a small museum that is actually something of a shrine to his late son, Ben. He tells a visitor that the human skeleton in the museum is actually that of his son. There's some flashbacks of his son being harassed by a son of a wealthy man and how he accidentally shoots him. Despite his protestations that it was all an accident, he is convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Once there, he loses all interest in life. But just who is this stranger Mr. Hollister is telling this story to and is he being completely upfront? There's some nice set-pieces of museum items. Not too remarkable of an episode, which lacks a bit of a punch, but leisurely moves along giving some enjoyment.
