I listened to this program for the first time a few months ago - and then again today. It's a weird one.

Written especially for the Mystery Theater, it is certainly creative. Going all the way from the mental institution after being a POW to the crooked seance clan - that's an interesting story line.

Kent is certainly an oddball. Especially the voice. I don't know whether it's too convincing or not convincing at all. Let's say too convincing! It's strange how much Kent does seem to know. His personality is strange but it is hard to judge what he really is. He seems to go along with the con job all too easily and does such a good job for not being able to do anything else.

Without a doubt, Kent is a time-bomb. But, as much as he seems to know, you would think he could get a handle on himself somehow. Of course, this is over-analyzing a dramatic production but these are the kinds of things that I think about while the program is running.

At the end, the inscription on the inside of the bracelet - I am unsure how this plays into the story. Obviously, the mother would have known what it said and no one else would have. So, there we have a mystery in and of itself but how does that connect to any other events? We were not supposed to believe that Kent was her son - that would not make sense. His name was known. So, what is that all about?

I will read to see if anyone else has an explanation...
