In the review by dougdoepke currently posted on IMDB, he describes this episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" as being more like an adventure series entry and i think they got it right...it is like an adventure show and the final twist, while interesting, isn't like you might expect in the show.
The episode is set in Mexico and is about a doomed mining project. The conditions are dangerous and the engineer in charge has had enough and he's ready to quit. However, when he's given a new and skilled assistant, he realizes the project CAN be completed...perhaps. But the problem is that it turns out he's a wanted criminal...and the pair might end up killing each other.
The acting is fine and the script enjoyable...but there isn't the usual type of suspense and the twist is only okay. Worth seeing but nothing more.
