This drug-related mystery has Dillman finding himself in someone else's apartment with a dead woman submerged in the bathtub. Discovering dried blood on his hand, he wonders if he was responsible for her death during an accidental LSD-induced blackout the night before. He hires Guardino to find out what really happened. Under Guardino's supervision he takes a dose of the drug, attempting to recall the previous night's events. They discover Dillman's coworker Hingle had slipped LSD into his coffee as part of an intricate blackmail scheme. In order to get Dillman's girl friend and his job in a government think tank, Hingle set him up. Amid many special camera techniques which try to approximate the drug's effects, it turns out that Dillman's superior, Jory, had been involved with the dead woman. She had been blackmailed as a result, and when she threatened to go to the police, Hingle killed her, and Jory was complicit. In a confrontation with Dillman, Hingle gets his, plummeting to the pavement from a high-up window of their think-tank office building. Three of the people in the cast are better known for their TV work: Susan Saint James for "McMillan and Wife" (with Rock Hudson), James Doohan for "Star Trek," and Kent McCord for "Adam 12." leave a comment
