الوصف:

When a publisher is skeptical of a murder plot in a proposed novel which revolves around a faux murder victim, the author offers to reconstruct his story in real life—including the disappearance of the supposed victim. Episode Notes: Dorothy Green, Casey Adams, Lewis Martin and Mark Dana guest star. The O. Henry Playhouse is a 1957 single-season, 39-episode TV series. O. Henry (William Sydney Porter) is considered one of America's greatest writers of short stories. His writings are laced with humor and irony and often end with a sly twist ending. Veteran character actor Thomas Mitchell stars in each episode as writer O. Henry himself as he relates his stories to his publisher, his housekeeper, a barber, a bartender, or the cop on the beat. In some episodes, O. Henry meets his characters as he discovers firsthand the story he will later write. This unique storytelling method gives great insight into the famous author's creative process.
