March 12, 1964 [203] "The Case
of the Garrulous Go-between"
Director IrvingJ. Moore
TeleplayPhilip Saltzman
Amy Scott has been paying good money to
see a female clairvoyant named Madame Zillia. She's also
been paying Paul to find a drunken young man named Tommy
Stiller. Paul can't believe that a level-headed woman
like Amy would believe in a fortune-teller, even one as
prominent as Madame Zillia. But Amy has her reasons.
First, her name isn't Amy Scott, it's Arnell Stiller, and
Tommy is her brother. Their father, Leonard Stiller,
committed suicide after having suffered through a divorce
and bankruptcy. Arnell believes that sittings with Madame
Zillia caused her father to make poor business decisions
and ultimately led to his death. She's been
tape-recording her sessions with the seer in order to
prove the woman a fraud.
After her tape recorder is stolen from
her room, Arnell knows that someone is on to her. Then,
her landlord is murdered and she's arrested. The motive
is simple. The dead man was secretly Madame Zillia's
partner in her dealings with Leonard Stiller.
