Two Sisters

Tale of two twins is the focus as Norma Crane plays Esther Quentin, a housewife who has fallen into a deep fever, where she claims to have a psychic vision of that twin sister, who is reputedly an arsonist in the process of burning down an orphanage. Grant Williams("The Incredible Shrinking Man") stars as her concerned but disbelieving husband, as indeed Esther 's vision is dismissed as being nothing more than a fever-induced delusion by both her doctor and the police. Eventually the claim is checked out with surprising results for all... Medium episode has an interesting enough premise but only generates a passable degree of dramatic fire.
