Andrew Duggan pairs with Elsa Lanchester (The Bride of Frankenstein) as a long suffering husband of a hopeless drunk. He is sad, works very hard, is quite naive and a bit daft. He unwittingly brings cadavers to the medical laboratory where they are dissected by students. He thinks of ways of doing away with his wife, but never can act on it. Then comes the old switcheroo. It's a pretty cool story of the macabre and Duggan is quite a good actor, we would remember from the television of the Hitchcock era. Lanchester is simply disgusting in her character, more of a living corpse than a real character. It creates a time in history a little Dickensian (Oliver Twist-like). Not a bad episode, but it has been done before.
