None Are So Blind story
Egotistical Seymour Johnston murders his rich Aunt Muriel and pins the blame on "Antonio Battani", a fake persona that he has created using make-up and a wig. Seymour's plan fails because his willful blindness of his own faults means that he no longer "sees" his distinctive facial birthmark, which gives his disguise away. Directed by: Robert Stevens. Story by: John Collier, James Cavanagh.
