Bill Bixby gives a sterling performance in this too-brief episode of TV's "Night Gallery", playing a stuffy lawyer whose wife purchases an old statue of a sorcerer who bears a resemblance to Bixby. Memorable shocks include the statue invading Bixby's bedroom, and later causing him to almost barbecue a kitty! This well-acted short cries out to be expanded upon, with ideas which are there but don't quite come to fruition. Carol Lynley is typically blasé as Bixby's wife, but Donna Douglas puts off some sinful heat as Carol's girlfriend (I'm not sure I understand the tag with her back at the antique store, however it's still a tight performance).
