Monday, Feb. 6 - Thriller: A Third for Pinochle

Thriller (1960–1962): A Third for Pinochle (Season 2 Episode 9 - aired 20 November 1961)

Edward Andrews returns as another comic villain, Maynard Thispin, plotting to rid himself of his nagging wife (Ann Shoemaker), so that he can enjoy her money with a younger mistress (Barbara Perry). Unfortunately, he fails to account for the spying Pennaroyd sisters across the street, a nutty twosome who need 'a third for pinochle' after knocking off their brother (it wasn't the brother - he's in an institution, remember?) and frightening the daylights out of an unsuspecting door-to-door salesman (Vito Scotti).

A man plans to murder his wife using his nosy neighbors for an alibi - but the eccentric ladies across the street may have a trick or two up their sleeve.
