The Great Ferlini (Keenan Wynn) is a stage magician whose routine has gotten a bit stale....so he decides to try a big escape trick...sort of like the thinks Houdini was known for doing. He'll have himself tied up, locked in a trunk and tossed in the river....and escape. But he hadn't counted on one thing...his wife. Their marriage is nasty and verbally abusive...and she conspires with her boyfriend to have this be Ferlini's FINAL trick. But in the end, the final trick is clearly Ferlini's.
This is an okay episode...neither particularly good nor bad. I think the ending twist is a big cheap...but overall it's watchable and the actors give it their best. Worth seeing if you adore the show...otherwise, you could do better.
