A
night club magician's assistant "disappears" in a magic box, only to return dead. And just to
prove it wasn't a fluke, he does it twice! Meanwhile, secrets are leaking from high sources, and a wheelchair-bound
general, whose daughter has hired a faith-healer to help him, is suspected.
IMHO |
A real mixed bag. The object of the title is not the
magician's box, but instead a small one used by the faith-healer. Unfortunately, once this is
revealed, the answer to the puzzle can be seen miles away. Must also endure not one but
two corny songs by Venus.
Trivia |
This story was originally scripted to include both Cathy Gale and Venus Smith. Now that might have been interesting...
Some scenes were pre-recorded on 16 January 1963 in advance of the main recording.
