Note: Alfred Hitchcock Introductory
"Good evening, I'm Alfred Hitchcock and tonight I'm presenting
the first in a series of stories of suspense and mystery oddly
enough called, "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". I shall not act in
these stories, but will only make appearances, something in
nature of an accessory before and after the fact. To give the title
for those of you who can't read and to tidy up afterwards for
those who don't understand the ending. Tonight's playlet is really
a sweet little story it is called "Revenge", it will follow, oh dear I
see our actors won't be ready for another 60 seconds. However
thanks to our sponsors' remarkable foresight we have a message
that will fit in here nicely." [RF]
