by Rog Phillips
Dramatised by Leon Griffiths
With Francis Matthews as John Frame, Stephen Bradley as Wilfred Connor
and Angela Browne as Helen Carter, Glynn Edwards as Inspector Slinn

A fashionable psychiatrist is asked by the police to examine a murderer. The young man appears to be mad and it seems to be routine. But, how does he know so much about the doctor's private life? He seems to possess strange and mysterious powers. Francis Matthews, of Paul Temple fame, plays the doctor and his real-life wife Angela Browne, Helen Carter.
