After thanking the viewing audience for their positive reception to the show, host
George Murphy introduces from the MGM vaults the classic movie
A Free Soul (1931), showing a clip featuring the Academy Award winning performance by
Lionel Barrymore. Next, he shows a short film,
One Against the World (1939), which chronicles the career of Dr. Ephraim McDowall, who was the first person ever to perform internal surgery, which was before then considered sacrilegious and was therefore unheard of. Then he shows
Guest Pests (1945), which demonstrates the different kinds of house guests that can be an annoyance. And in the coming attraction, he shows a few scenes from
Trial (1955), based on the Harper Award winning novel of the same name by
Don Mankiewicz, who adapted his novel for the big screen.
