Don Defore is a merchant marine, rescued from a torpedoed ship. He's gone to a farm to purchase it, but he cannot remember where he put his money. Committed to a hospital, the doctor in charge performs an experiment to try to revive that memory.
It's not a very good episode of the long-running MGM series, produced and narrated by John Nesbitt. It holds some interest in the interest in psychoanalysis that was becoming popular in movies in this period; perhaps the best known example is Hitchcock's SPELLBOUND.
Besides Defore, Morris Ankrum appears as the doctor. Because, like many in the series, the actors perform in dumb show, while Nesbitt describes what happens, it's interesting as a survival of silent movie technique of the "illustrated text" method. Defore's performance is too broad.
