Two scheming con-artists, Alison and Benny, attempt to steal a fortune from an older gentleman through an extortion scheme. However, after certain complications, their scheming enterprise much reach beyond the grave. But something reaches back...
Cathy Moriarty and Ben Cross are aces as the con-artists, both cold hearted and likable, and the late John Vernon chews the scenery as only he can as the older gentleman, Prescott.
The episode, as well as the Cryptkeeper lead in and lead out, are filmed in noir fashion of the fifties, giving this one a unique feel that sets it above the rest of season four.
The end is gruesomely brutal and savagely clever, leaving everyone exactly where they deserve to be. EC justice, baby, gotta love it.
