In this nail-biting episode from the Master of Suspense himself, 5-year-old Jackie Hester replaces a toy gun with his uncle’s real gun and ammunition and proceeds to wield the weapon on unsuspecting victims throughout suburbia. Will the adults in Jackie’s life catch up to him in time to prevent a tragedy? And what does this 60-year-old episode have to say not only about gun safety, but also the insidious reach of colonialism?
