A carnival performer known as the "mechanical man" named Rene turns out to have real human emotions. This is a great example of dark radio drama created by Fine and Friedkin. At the end, announcer Larry Thor almost says "Joseph Kearns" is the main actor but stops himself before finishing the mistake.
