The familiar "plink, plink" of the theme song, accompanied by the line drawing of a man in profile immediately identifies the show as "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." The famed director opens almost every episode with the words "Good evening ..." After a joke -- usually about the evening's sponsor -- Hitchcock lays the groundwork for that episode's freestanding story of suspense and terror.

A professor's (Don Taylor) attempt to end an affair results in murder, leaving an infant as the lone witness.

A miserly janitor (Oscar Homolka) keeps the contents of a lost wallet, despite the protests of his wife (Jo Van Fleet).

Freed from prison, a thief (Steven Hill) leads his partner (Steve Brodie) to the mine shaft where he hid their loot.

About to be executed for a crime he didn't commit, a man (Harry Guardino) decides to write his side of the story. With Hugh Marlowe.
