Episode summary
Dave Snowden elopes with wealthy Bonnie Daniels, and Mr. Spencer sees them break into the abandoned old estate where Bonnie lived until age six. Mr. Spencer informs Bonnie's mother, Mrs. Daniels, who finds Snowden struggling to open a mysterious locked door on the upper floor. Mrs. Daniels annuls the marriage, because Bonnie's true age is only 17, not 19, as Dave was told. Three weeks later, when Bonnie reaches majority, she rejoins Dave, and they consummate nuptials, but Mrs. Daniels will not release Bonnie's trust fund until she is 25. Dave convinces Bonnie to ...
Fun and viewer review
The moral of the story is, it pays to take the stairs. This was pure hokum. It would have worked had MacArthur been portrayed as a heel throughout only to get his comeuppance at the end. But in fact there is no indication until the end that his love for the woman is not real. He even rejects the money offer in the form of a "scholarship" and position. So why does he suddenly become a mercenary at the end? It doesn't make sense. It's odd that Herrmann's TORN CURTAIN cue was rejected for that film and used here! I see no relation between Poe's tale, as someone suggested, and this story, apart from the ending. But that's like saying that THE PUBLIC ENEMY rips off LITTLE CAESAR because in both films the gangster dies at the end!
