You've got it, Fizzlestix:

This wasn't a bad play...Ralph Bell and Evie Juster had two great voices working together.

I always got a kick out of the oboe and bassoon music at the very end of the second act...that was ALWAYS in a light-hearted RMT play. It's just that this one kind of lost me. In the third act where I should have been rapt, I found myself drifting away, then unsure of the significance of Bell's final words.

Still, not a bad listen whatsoever.

I thought this episode to be a bit on the sillier side of the RMT. The twist at the end of such an elaborate plot scheme seemed a little expected, if not predictable.

I didn't like how the "sister-in-law" sort of appeared out of nowhere and became a critical element of the story, tho it made more sense later.

Morally, I am constantly surprised by the news in our world at just how often crimes of this nature actually occur. It seems that a lot of people fall into the prey of confidence artists all the time, despite years of RMT shows, Columbo, and Dennis Weaver giving us examples to avoid.

Makes me wonder how people can be so easily taken in... and how can I get in on the action! :shock: (just kidding!)

In all, it was an easy listen, well produced, and on the lighter side, so with that I gave it a 3.8.
