Funny episode with an old glory from the 1950s
Joseph Renfield (FRANCIS THE TALKING MULE's Donald O'Connor) is a retired puppeteer that one day is called for doing a TV special on the entertainment shows of the 1950s. His much younger wife Ellen is sick and tired of being used like a piece of forniture and goes to acting lessons for spending less time with Joseph. In fact, she has an affair with fellow student David (Zach Galligan) that one day goes to their house for learning the secrets of puppeteering from the Master himself. When Joseph finds out hints of his wife's affair in the drawer David stages her death but it won't go too far as Joseph uses his most known puppet Koko the clown for the revenge...
The episode was very entertaining and I loved the story about the puppeteer and the final scene when the police enters and finds out that he turned himself in Koko the Clown was very shocking and unexpected. Another one in a long line of great episodes.
