I advise you not to read the summary of this episode, as I did, because it pretty much IS the entire episode...including the twist.
When the story begins, Bonnie has just married Dave (James MacArthur) and they are visiting her childhood home, which has been shuttered for some time. However, her mother is apparently there and she confronts the two lovers. Unbeknownst to Dave, Bonnie is underage...and the marriage is not valid. The mother (Gloria Swanson) announces she's having the marriage annulled, as she thinks Dave is only interested in Bonnie because of her fortune. However, she can't stop Bonnie once she hits 18...but she can keep the money in trust until she's 25...and she assumes Dave will not be willing to wait. What's next and what is the locked door? See the show and find out for yourself.
Considering what a godawful person Dave turns out to be, the finale of this episode is quite satisfying and makes this one worth seeing. A dark and well deserved finale and solid acting make this one worth seeing. However, and I really HATE this, in the epilogue, Hitchcock gives yet another 'crime doesn't pay' speech---even though it's doubtful a crime was committed. For this, I had to knock off a point.
