Featured review
A couple jerks get what's comin' to them!
When the story begins, a father (George Macready) is dabbling in black magic and he accidentally kills his son! In desperation, he goes to an astrologer and then the owner of a black magic book. He ends up spending his entire fortune for the book and then arrives at a tailor's. He instructs the tailer about how to construct a suit for the son made out of magic fabric...supposedly to bring the boy back, though he hasn't told the tailor that. As for the tailer (Henry Jones), he's a cruel and awful man and horribly mistreats his wife. She, in turn, is so lonely that her only friend is a mannequin that she talks to. What's going to happen with all this? Watch and see for yourself.
This is an okay episode...modestly enjoyable but a bit predictable. My biggest complaint, though, is that I just didn't enjoy seeing the cruelty between the tailor and his young wife....if was hard to watch and that's why I scored it a 6 despite being original. Perhaps you won't think so.
