The Cheney Vase

S1 E13: Martha Cheney (Patricia Collinge) is an elderly invalid whose only preoccupation in life is to protect the Cheney vase, a valuable artifact that has been in the Cheney family for generations and has long been coveted by museums around the world. When Lyle Endicott (Darren McGavin), a charming yet dishonest former curator conspires to gain Miss Cheney’s confidence and subsequent employment as her guardian, it is clear that he has his sights set on the priceless vase. Once in the Cheney mansion, Endicott concentrates on a search for the treasured heirloom.
