A fine finale.
Sleepin_Dragon25 February 2020
Larry O'Ryan was a safe breaker, but now a reformed character and acquaintance of Reeder, is almost run down in front of Reeder's front door, he's in love with the wealthy Lady Pamela, but someone is trying to stop their courtship.

It's a good final episode in the series, a slightly darker episode than previous offerings. It's a shame this is the last one, but at least they made all of the stories.

It's a clever story, with some twisted characters, and sadistic behaviour.

Milton Johns played some fine roles, he's very good here, and wonderfully bonkers.

I've enjoyed each and every episode.

8/10.

The Treasure House
Prismark1013 March 2021
The last episode of The Mind of Mr. J.G. Reeder and it is another lacklustre one.

Larry O'Ryan is hopelessly in love with a young lady Pamela Lane Leonard he has met. However her uncle forbids the romance. He comes to consult Reeder about it.

Not only that O'Ryan has a colourful past. He is a reformed safebreaker.

Unfortunately Pamela comes from a wealthy family. There are bars of gold in the family mansion.

However her uncle seems to be under some kind of control by the lowly servant called Lidget. He seems to be madly besotted with Pamela.

As for O'Ryan. Someone tries to run him over. Later a man is found dead in his bath and Reeder finds a bar of gold under his bed.

Reeder is not sure if O'Ryan has an ulterior motive and can be completely trusted.

There was something Dickensian about this story. Lidgett has a touch of Uriah Heep about him although he is more sadistic.
