Hopelessly in love with Poopsie Barrett (Sarah Marshall), the childlike, scatterbrained wife of his boss James Barrett (Richard Gaines), Philip Weaver (Peter Walker) begins plotting Barrett's demise. The scheme involves a business trip to Toronto and an "accidental" tragedy. What Philip hadn't counted on is the fact that Poopsie is not only scatterbrained, but rather stupid as well!€ ° ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
This episode is clearly inspired by the famous "Bridey Murphy" affair of the mid-'50s. During a party, Lucy Pryor (Phyllis Thaxter) allows herself to be hypnotized by Professor Miles Farham (Tom Helmore). While in a trance, she regresses to the year 1853 and assumes the personality of a Quaker woman named Dora Evans -- and then, just as Dora Evans had done over 100 years earlier, Lucy promptly murders her husband. During her subsequent trial, Lucy undergoes hypnosis a second time to prove that she had had no control over herself when committing the murder...and the results are astonishing. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
