I loved this episode, after seeing it a few times on reruns and then on DVD. Let's just say that "Arsenic and Old Lace" meets Perry Mason. A young man who pays a visit to two older, delightfully dotty spinsters seems to be pretending to be a family member...put up to it by a scheming relative (Hugh Marlowe) who gets his just desserts in due time. The rest of the show is devoted to family, the law and Perry Mason all trying to figure out just what really happened - and who this young man actually is. Turns out, the dotty old sisters' feminine intuition is right on the money, as Mason eventually divines and proves in court. In the end, he turns out only to be an imitation imitation.
Not sure if my oblique clues are too much of a giveaway, so I am declaring the presence of spoilers for those faint of heart. If, as my kids constantly tell me, my explanations are more confusing than clarifying...then I've done my job. :)
