77 Sunset Strip: The Secret of Adam Cain (1959)
Season 1, Episode 15
7/10
An ironical twist
20 January 2017
This was one weird episode from 77 Sunset Strip. Efrem Zimbalist goes half way around the world on behalf of a pair of silly twit clients with affected English accents. Their very rich uncle from Oklahoma sent them to school in the UK and they really took to it.

They hire Zimbalist to get a vase back which may or may not be valuable. A whole lot of people want it like Don Gordon, Berry Kroeger, and Liliane Montevecchi. As for Zimbalist he goes from LA to South America, to Algeria and back.

The climax is laced with irony when clients David Frankham and Lisa Davis finally tell Zimbalist why they wanted the vase back. Given what happens to it, the ending is one of the most ironical twists I've ever seen big and small.

Weird, but fun.
