It seems that this episode is the very one of the show. It's a blackmail story. I waited for far better than this. scheme. Forget it.

Hollow entry in the show

A gripping little thriller by a masterful story teller

WW Jacobs is best known for writing one of the world's great horror stories, The Monkey's Paw. A gripping, supernatural tale about a talisman that grants its owner three wishes with the most heartbreaking consequences. First published by Harper's Magazine in 1902.
A couple of years earlier Harper's had published another Jacobs story, Captain Rogers. It was similarly a gripping little tale although this one had nothing to do with the supernatural but everything to do with down to earth blackmail. I remember seeing this very respectable TV adaptation with Donald Pleasence playing the part of the blackmailer. And an evil charecter he was. A good adaptation that is still fresh in my mind some 50 years later.
