Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains spoilers for this episode!
Synopsis: After receiving scary obscene phone calls, Ann (Marlo Thomas) enlists the aid of Detective Sergeant Ray Mandel (Hal Buckley) which does not please her jealous boyfriend Donald (Ted Bessell).
Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): Ann is sleeping in her bedroom with Donald and Detective Mandel in the living room when she hears a noise on the fire escape and sees a shadow. She gets Mandel in the bedroom and Donald follows without their knowing, scaring Ann in the dark and leading to a scuffle. Donald ends up handcuffed and Mandel looks on the fire escape. He announces it is a peeping Tom and comes back in holding a chonky ginger tabby cat.
Ann and Donald look surprised at the sight of the feline.
Final Mewsings: We’d accept a chonky tom cat intruder any time!
