Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Long Shot (1955) (TV)

Synopsis: A man who owes money to a bookie flees town as the chauffeur of an Englishman; he is also from England and his employer makes him talk a lot about the old country. Halfway into the journey, the chauffeur finds out that his employer is going to San Francisco to collect an inheritance, and that no one there knows what he looks like.

Appraisal: Another ingenious concoction with a twist at the ending.
