Spooky story, all about fabulous, young singer Johnny Main who is killed in a plane crash --and returns from the grave!
10 Stars for chills and thrills.
His grieving widow, Barbara (played by Kathie Browne), is bound to a wheel chair and the perfect sitting duck for a string of creepy phone calls from him. All Johnny wants is for her to die, and as soon as possible! You have to admit, the phone calls are bizarro, and love that weird voice.
Jeff takes the case, naturally looking for "live" suspects and doesn't it all come down to money?
Sure does. Barbara inherits a fortune from his recordings and ya' know someone wants a giant chunk of the pie. Just who is it?
Some rather interesting characters in this mystery, and very good acting. Popular actress Kathie Browne is excellent, and scared silly in a few eerie scenes. Veteran character actor and comedian Chick Chandler plays Eddie. Ron Brown plays the ghost of Johnny, and rather ghoulish at times. Browne later turned up in several episodes of the FBI.
This was the only episode written by Paul Schneider, who did many episodes for BONANZA, later MARCUS WELBY. Director Charles Rondeau handles the cast quite well, especially Kathie Browne. Rondeau is best known for his work on LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE.
The ending is fast and dangerous when wet! Don't miss it. SEASON 4 EPISODE 31 remastered.
