Episode 0047 "A Choice of Witnesses"

Original Story by Henry Slesar Directed by Himan Brown Host: E.G. Marshall

A "professional" blackmailer is targeted by his victims who hatch an elaborate plan to get him.

In this story, you're going to meet what some people call a shutter bug. You know what a shutter bug is. The kind of person who never goes anywhere without a camera swinging from a strap around his neck. Who is never content unless they're aiming a lens in your direction, whether you want to be photographed or not. But unfortunately, this particular bug is the kind that many people want to crush under their feet.

It begins on a warm day in early spring. The kind of day which tempts office workers to leave their desks and stroll through the nearest park on the noon hour. Among the strollers is an amiable young man named Gordon Bailey who is enjoying the sunshine so much that he's taken a sandwich lunch to a park bench.

Starring: Paul Hecht, Evie Juster, Ralph Bell, Robert Dryden
