Times have certainly changed. In the 1950s and 60s, the ultimate fashion accessory, if you could afford it, was a fur coat. Nowadays, such a coat is rather passe...something few women would want any more.
The show begins with a lady (Ruth Hussey) going to a furrier to get an appraisal on her new mink stole. However, the people recognize the stole...it's one they made themselves and it is one that was reported stolen! Well, she leaves before the police arrive and as she's at lunch, a female police officer approaches her and informs her that a complaint has been lodged against her....and the coat appears to have been stolen. But when she takes the coat to the lady who sold it to her second-hand, you wonder who is telling the truth...as she said she never sold anyone any mink ever.
The acting in this one is very good. But the twist? I couldn't even tell if there was one. No real suspense and a really disappointing ending. But, had it been an episode of "Dragnet" or some other police show, it would have been quite good....but clearly NOT what you would expect for "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".
