I recall the couple's son (Lee Majors) was a race car driver and was to race one evening. The couple had made their first wish for money (who wouldn't). Soon after, the father was called to the race track after word of their son's involvement in a car crash. The father came home with sad eyes to tell the mother that their son had been killed in the accident at the track. The mother began to weep, but then excitement came to her face as she exclaimed, "I can wish him back to life"!!! She then grasped the monkey's paw and wished for her son to be brought back from the dead. At that moment, the door bell rang and the mother (believing it to be her son) ran for the door. Before the woman had a chance to open it, the father quickly wished for his son to be sent back to the grave. The woman opened the door only to find her son's bloodied scarf he had received from her for good luck on the door step. The father told his distraught wife he wished their son back to the grave because he had seen his body after death, and did not want her to see what was left of him come back to life. In all of the Hitchcock series, this was perhaps the creepiest and darkest of all. Eeeeech!

Wilford James, who met Sarah Norton on a plane from Jamaica, promises to love and marry her, connives her into investing $10,000, says that it was a total loss, and disappears. Next, becomes James Jarvis in the first class compartment of another plane, where he meets elderly Mary Caulfield and her companion, Agatha, on their way home from Salzburg. At the airport terminal, Mary tells him that they live at the Golden Angel Hotel, and he claims coincidentally that he will be staying there. He sends two dozen roses to Mary and Agatha, charms Mary while romancing Agatha, and tells them that he has "the deal of five lifetimes," an opportunity to buy stock at $30 and sell it for $50. Before investing, Mary sets up a lunch appointment for the following day so that Jarvis can meet her learned attorney, Barton. That night, Jarvis sneaks into the aged Barton's home wearing black leather gloves. Next morning, Jarvis brings more flowers, but Agatha tells him that Jarvis died of a stroke or suffocation. Mary promptly converts her entire estate into shares in the Arlo Trust Company, on Jarvis' advice. He tells her that her wealth has increased by 21%. A day later, Jarvis laments that Arlo has gone bankrupt, reducing the equity from $75 per share to 0. Agatha goes to her bank to withdraw $1200, to help Jarvis get back on his feet. While she is gone, Mary calls her great-niece, Eileen, and tells her that she can no longer finance her trip to Germany. Mary then plays a morose piano solo on her Victrola, writes a suicide note, ignores the ringing telephone, and does herself in with a pistol. When Agatha returns, the hotel clerk tells her that they will miss Jarvis, who is checking out. Agatha returns to the hotel suite, pages Jarvis in vain, then discovers Mary's corpse. Jarvis comes back to his room, makes a first class flight reservation as Jarvis Smith, then calls Agatha. She tells him that the morning mail brought news of a windfall inheritance from Mary's dead brother, and that she has $1200 for him. He rushes over, and Agatha shows him Mary's revolver. She tells Jarvis that it was a great surprise to find a handgun, in the light of Mary's recent despondency, and asks him to take it away. After he pockets the firearm, Agatha invites him to visit with Mary, then locks him in Mary's room. Agatha immediately calls the front desk, and summons the police. As Jarvis is shooting his way out of the room, the police arrive, and gun him down.

After work, Lucy, a keypunch operator, meets Walter, a short, balding, bespectacled computer technician who is her supervisor. She tells him that he is a forgettable bore, and hands back her ring, breaking their six-week engagement. Walter walks past a custom wig shop, and enters. Soon he is persuaded to buy a $250 human hair toupee and beard. He stops at a bar and overhears Noreen and Curly talking about sailing. He tells them that he is Philip Marshall, an expert yachtsman who has sailed the Caribbean and around the world several times. Noreen tells Curly that it is 5:15, and he is late for an appointment. When Philip and Noreen are alone, he offers to teach her how to sail. He then goes home to his room and board walk-up, where the manager, Mrs. Adams, confronts him. He identifies himself as Philip, and says that he is a friend of Walter. In his room, he looks out the window, and sees Curly watching him. He removes his wig and beard. The next morning, Mrs. Adams tells Walter that she has a letter for Philip from Curly. She demands back rent for Philip, whom she thinks has been freeloading. Walter tells her that he was just a visitor, and he will move rather than pay any more rent. As Philip, he moves into Mrs. Jones' rooming house. He then sets up a date with Noreen at Keefer's Marina. He confides in Keefer that he knows nothing about ships, but wants to impress the girl, so Keefer sells him a $3000 boat on credit. Noreen, who is legally separated from a rich husband, has a luxury apartment. As Philip leaves the apartment, he is approached by Curly, who calls him Walter. Curly coerces Philip into stashing a $50,000 booty of silver and jewelry at his boat's mooring, or else Curly will tell Noreen about the masquerade. Mrs. Adams runs a personal ad seeking the whereabouts of Walter Mills or Philip Marshall, and gets a response from Mrs. Jones. She meets with Jones, and they suspect that Mills and Marshall are avoiding rent by doubling up, or that Marshall has killed Mills, so they call the police. When Philip gets home, he is confronted by a lieutenant, who asks him to prove that he did not murder Mills. In front of everyone, including Adams and Jones, he removes his wig and beard. Nevertheless, the lieutenant suspects that only a criminal would use such a disguise, and plans to contact everyone Walter knows. Walter then goes to Noreen's apartment to explain why Philip will not appear. Once inside, the drab little man puts his wig and beard on, and chides himself over his Halloweenish behavior. To his surprise, Noreen kisses him. He tells her about Curly, and she convinces him to remove the loot from his dock. He enters the marina that night, and must reveal his wig and beard in order to get past Keefer. When he finishes pulling up the rope to which the bag of stolen goods is attached, a police boat shines its light on him. As they begin to take Walter away, a dead body is spotted on the pier. It is identified as Joseph Kimberly, Noreen's husband.

Dr. Jane Waterleigh wakes to find herself in an obese body, having just given birth to her fourth baby, and is called "Mother Orchis" and "Mother 417" by an all-female medical staff. The other Mothers, all of whom are corpulent and much larger than their helpers, the Servitors, tell Jane that there are no men, their only responsibility is to give birth, and Mothers neither read nor write. Jane, however, remembers her past life as a physician and wife, so two policewomen try to arrest her for "reactionism." The Doctors refuse to surrender her, and send her to sick bay, then to Laura, the historian. Laura explains that all of the men died decades ago, when a Dr. Perrigan developed a virus to control the rat population, but the strain mutated, killing all male humans, but sparing females, who were immune. Now only women survive, and they are sorted at birth into four classes--Doctors, Mothers, Servitors, and Workers--and raised in learning centers. When Laura tells Jane that she will now receive an hypnotic treatment, a drug-induced amnesia to remove all of her memory, she becomes hysterical, and returns to her earlier world. She is in the office of Dr. Hellyer, her boss and the Chief of Staff at her hospital, who reminds her that she volunteered to test a new narcotic, Sonadrin, which apparently took her to the fantastic matriarchal world from which she just escaped. She discovers that Dr. Perrigan is a real biologist, who is working on a myxomatosis strain to exterminate brown rats. She meets Perrigan and tries to convince him to discontinue his project, but he refuses, so she shoots him, lights a fire using all of Perrigan's research notes, and burns down his laboratory. She is tried for murder, but refuses to plead insanity, and insists that her sacrifice is worthwhile, since she is saving humanity from a terrible future. Then her attorney, Max Wilding, tells her that Perrigan has a son, another Dr. Perrigan, who promises to complete his father's work.

Edinburgh, Scotland, March 1827: John McGregor works all day to support his wife, Aggie, a fat drunk who sleeps incessantly, snoring, and has not left their cottage in two years. He does a lot of hauling for Hare, whom he suspects of being a resurrectionist, who digs up bodies to supply to medical schools. McGregor notes that some people who enter Hare's hotel never walk out again. McGregor is unhappy, and imagines killing his wife via bashing her head with a stone, drowning, and hanging, but realizes that none of those routes would be successful. One day he picks up another box of tanbark from Burke and Hare to deliver to Dr. Knox's medical museum. Knox says that he needs all of the tanbark to "spread around." McGregor notices a shock of human hair hanging from the box, and opens it with his pocket knife. He sees that the box contains the body of Elsie, the match vendor who was alive and well yesterday, frolicking in the spring countryside with Tommy Lad. McGregor decides to make Aggie his next cargo, so buys many bottles of whiskey, and serves them to Aggie. When she is inebriated, he leaves her on a bench outside Hare's hotel. Hare and Burke hear her snoring, and she is soon dispatched. The next day, McGregor asks Burke whether he has another load of tanbark, and Burke complies, but he asks McGregor to tell Knox that he will visit soon to discuss a new price for tanbark. Burke is surprised when McGregor refuses a double fee for the oversize load, instead asking for the regular rate. When Knox receives the box, he flips the usual coin to McGregor as a tip, and is perplexed when McGregor rejects it. McGregor is now lonely, and imagines that Aggie is still lying in her bed. He invites the new match seller, comely Rosie, into his dwelling, but becomes enraged when she lies in Aggie's bed, and scares Rosie away. He returns to the medical museum, and asks Knox to let him see the body that he delivered one last time.

She fondles the rodent and gives it food and water, then spots a tramp walking down the public dirt road near their home. Emery says that he has plenty of peaches to pick, and the going wage in the valley is $6 per day, but he might get this tramp to work for $5/day. Emery invites the tramp inside, and offers him three dollars a day plus board and a place in the back yard. The tramp, who says his name is Jesse with no middle or last name, hires on. Jesse gobbles down his breakfast, using a big knife to slice a tomato and some bread. Stella asks him to put the knife away. Jesse asks Stella whether the fat squirrel outside is a pet. She says that it is. He replies that he could kill it so she could make stew for supper. A few minutes later, she hears Jesse's laughter in the yard, rushes outside to find her pet squirrel lying dead, and screams. Jesse claims the squirrel attacked him, and Emery buries it. The men fill their picking baskets with peaches, and Stella transfers the peaches to crates which are stacked on the truck. After a long day and supper, Emery tells Stella that he will take the peaches to the cannery first thing next morning. She says that she wants to go along, and stay at the hotel in town until Jesse leaves, because she is afraid of him. Emery convinces Stella to stay, but the next morning, while Stella provides a breakfast of flapjacks to Jesse, he says that many people are afraid of him, and he likes it that way, especially women, who never invite him and always tell him to get away. In the orchard, Stella overhears Jesse telling Emery that he killed the squirrel because he hates animals, and Emery sympathizes. That evening, after picking three truckloads of peaches, Jesse is tired, as is Stella, who, according to Emery, has cooked her first bad meal in twelve years of marriage. Stella goes to bed before washing the dishes, and Jesse leaves for his bed after supping. In the front room, Emery puts a country music station on the radio to get the weather report, but falls asleep. Stella packs her suitcase and sneaks out the back window. Jesse is waiting for her, grabs her, and threatens her with his knife. Stella screams, but Emery continues to sleep, as the weather report warns of a cold front with thunderclouds, hail, and lightning. Jesse yells that Emery is a slave-driver and tightwad, yet so afraid that he is completely under Jesse's command. Stella manages to grab the knife, and Jesse absconds, taking the truck loaded with peaches. Stella enters the house and wakens Emery. She tells him that Jesse left with the truck, so they should call the police, but he mutters that it is no use, because the thunderstorm will wipe out the crop. Stella realizes then that Emery was awake while Jesse attacked her.

A mystery novelist sends a series of weird audiotapes to his publisher. On the first tape, the author boasts that the publisher won't be able to discern if the story he narrates is the history of an imminent murder - or a mere fantasy. The author tells of his brief marriage ending when his wife was killed after he lost control of their car. They were kissing, making up after an argument over his wife's staying out all night with a rich old man, the same evening the author was briefly with the man's alluring, young wife Janet. Janet made a pass at the author, who immediately cut the evening short. The author says he fell into a severe depression, declined a needed brain operation, moved from France to San Francisco where he changed his name, then became a mystery writer. The tapes relate how the author eventually ran into Janet , and though she's still married, dived into an affair. When she and the author begin to plan her husband's murder, the publisher calls in another of his mystery novelists to determine: are these tapes just an unorthodox pitch of a new novel - or the bizarre confession of a deranged killer?
