The title "Printer's Devil" tells you what this episode is about. It dosn't try to trick you in any way about who Mr. Smith really is.
This episode is about a owner/editor of a newspaper. A new newspaper came into town and is running him out of business. After losing one of his last employees to the competition and being almost bankrupt he calls it quits. When he is thinking about committing suicide who should stop him but Mr. Smith. It also just so happens that Mr. Smith is also print press operator and a reporter. All this helps get the paper running again but at what cost.
What this episode dose very well is it uses the question of who really believes in the devil in this modern age. Even though this episode was made in the 60's the question still works today.
