This episode is not particularly outstanding for the story, though it is perfectly fine as a melodrama and in good stead for a Hitchcock episode.
It is Larry Blyden's performance as a sort of Jeckyll and Hyde character, or a pre-Buddy Love type, that sets it above the average episode.
It has to be the best performance of his career, at least the best I've seen, and it shows that this fine actor had quite a range that could extend far beyond the TV comedy show guest parts he typically played. See it for this reason and you will enjoy it.
