If you think that this episode of 77 Sunset Strip looks more like a Twilight Zone episode you'd be right. Efrem Zimbalist appears alone in this story the only dialog consists of Stu Bailey talking on the telephone, talking to the unseen perpetrator who does answer back and to himself.
After coming home from an assignment Zimbalist is lured to his office in the wee small hours of the morning. Knocked out he finds himself out in the desert on the road to a deserted ghost town.
Which his kidnapper/tormentor has supplied with a lot of little booby traps. Bailey will need all his old OSS training to keep alive.
The tormentor is a genius, but also clearly nuts. He's conceived a grudge against Zimbalist and reason is beyond him.
Efrem Zimbalist does great in one of the most acclaimed episodes of the series.
