Donald O’Connor returns to Suspense just a month after his appearance in Smiley. This is the second performance of The Visitor, originally broadcast in May 1944 with Eddie Bracken. The story is about a young man who returns to his hometown after he has been presumed dead. Most townspeople are delighted at his return, while others believe he is an impostor who is up to no good. The story was written by Carl Randau and Leane Zugsmith and adapted by Robert L. Richards.
