The Lost

Originally Aired: October 14, 1954

Suspense #567, "Lost," finds Alice wandering the streets of New York City in a state of complete amnesia. Unable to remember her own name, where she came from, or why she's there, she desperately seeks help from a policeman at 59th Street. Detective Mark Neal takes her to the precinct, where the only clues to her identity are the name "Alice" stitched into her belongings and a wedding ring on her finger. Her photo is distributed to newspapers and television stations, and she's transferred to City Hospital's psychiatric ward for treatment. But Alice's situation takes a dark turn when she awakens to find herself behind barred windows in the prison ward.

Dr. Corday reveals the disturbing truth: Alice has been arrested for shooting someone named Joyce Carlyle. Her husband, Ted Parker, a struggling 24-year-old songwriter, arrives at the hospital and explains their turbulent relationship to the doctor. Twelve years younger than his wealthy wife, Ted admits their marriage is volatile, fueled by Alice's intense jealousy. As Alice struggles to piece together her fragmented memories, she must confront the terrifying possibility that she attempted to murder her husband's associate in a fit of rage.
