Case of the Twice Told Twist"
Director Jesse Hibbs*
Teleplay Samuel Newman *
Producers Arthur Marks and Art Seid
This is the one and only Mason episode
shot in color.
Eighteen-year-old Lennie Beale is
involved with a gang of thieves who strip Perry's car to
the frame. It turns out that Lennie has been with a cast
of characters straight out of Oliver Twist. Benjamin
Huggins, a wealthy art collector, is the modern-day Fagin
who oversees a teenage car-stripping operation. Before
Lennie gets Perry's message offering him immunity from
prosecution in exchange for testimony against the gang,
the boy is charged with murder. It appears that Bill
Sikes, Lennie's immediate boss, shot Lennie's girlfriend,
and Lennie stabbed the man to death.
