An older rural couple adopts an unattractive 16 year old orphan with a hip disorder. The director of the Home for Foundlings is skeptical and has misgivings about the arrangement but allows the adoption to go through. The young girl is captivated by her new father's star sapphire ring and he discovers he can hypnotize her with it making her do whatever he wants.

A rather disturbing episode that hints at sexual abuse. Bold territory for the writers at CBSRMT. It certainly would have been interesting to hear the discussion around the production table when this script was pitched.
