Notas del episodio
John Prentice, wealthy manufacturer, and his wife Clara, along with their grown daughter Eva, and her fiancée, Dwight Cooper, are attending a lecture. The wife and daughter are dressed and in the living room awaiting Dwight's arrival. John is still getting ready. Just then, the doorbell rings. Eva says "Well, there's Dwight now. Mother, I'll go to the door". Clara says "Oh, wait a minute. Eva, you'd better make sure who it is before you open the door". Eva says "Oh mother, are you still worrying about that dream daddy had last night?" Clara says "Well, I can't help being nervous about it". Eva says "Well, of course it's Dwight. We're expecting him, aren't we? I'm going to let him in". She opens the door, and Dwight says "Hello, darling. Good evening, Mrs. Prentice". Eva says "Now, you see mother. It wasn't the big bad wolf after all". Dwight asks "What's this about a big bad wolf?" Eva says "It seems as if mother believes in dreams, and Dad had a terrible one last night". Clara says "I don't believe that all dreams have a meaning, but the one John had last night was a prophecy, and I'm concerned about it. He kept hearing a man's voice telling him over and over that he was going to be murdered within 48 hours". Dwight says "Murdered? Oh well, I wouldn't be alarmed, Mrs. Prentice. According to psychologists, a dream has no possible relation to the future. They say a dream comes from experiences of the past that have been registered in the subconscious mind". Just then, the telephone rings. Eva answers "Hello?" The voice on the line says "Is Mr. Prentice there?" Eva says "He's busy right now, could I take a message?" The voice says "Yeah. Tell him he better come to the phone whether he's busy or not if he wants to save his life". Eva says "What?" The voice says "It's a matter of life and death".
