Where the Woodbine Twineth
Black
& White version
(AHH):
Nell Snyder (Margaret Leighton)
suddenly finds herself the parent of her orphaned niece, Eva (Eileen
Baral),
a
little girl with decidedly strange behavior. It seems that every time Eva
gets into trouble, she blames an imaginary playmate named Mr. Peppercorn.
Nell is unable to comprehend the girl and their relationship becomes even worse
after the arrival of Eva's grandfather, King Snyder (Carl
Benton Reid), a riverboat captain who gives her a Creole voodoo doll.
Within a short time, Nell is convinced that the doll is real and is trying to
capture her soul - which she is determined to do something about.
Following the child and the doll into the woods... well, the rest of the story
makes for one of the most interesting, scary, exciting and popular episodes ever
produced by the Hitchcock organization. Also featured are Juanita Moore
as Suse, the maid, Joel Fluellen as Jessie, E. J. Andre as the
