Our thanks to Keara who recommended this story from the series, Escape! This unusual tale is based on a short story by Robert Smythe Hichens and the production features the singular talents of the Man of a Thousand Voices, Paul Frees as the parrot. After a psychologist strikes up an unlikely friendship with a priest, the doctor finds himself being tormented by a strange invisible creature, which plagues him with a sickening, repugnant love! What is the true nature of this shadowy creature? Can a parrot sense the spiritual world? How hard was it to find a dinner date back then? Listen for yourself and find out!
