Another Hitchcock classic with a surprise ending.
This is the kind of episode to show others that aren't familiar with this great series.
This is one of the reasons why I like to watch ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS.
It's too bad the show isn't on a leading TV network anymore, now that the so-called "classic" TV LAND network decided to ditch most of the "oldies" and play mostly a crappy blend of 70s and 80s TV shows.

Walker: How much longer until I make it to San Francisco? Charlie: Four, five days maybe. Barring accidents, of course…

(Opening Narration) Alfred Hitchcock: (Playing a slot machine.) My last quarter. (He wins. The machine pays out in fruits.) I've been frightfully lucky this evening. Now, if they would invent a machine that I could play using orange seeds and cherry pits, I'd be perfectly happy. All the foregoing will immediately seem justified, appropriate, clever. And even dignified, when I tell you that tonight's narrative is about a gambler. It is called "The Long Shot". If you like to bet when the odds are high and the risks great, you'll appreciate our hero's philosophy. But if you prefer to put your money on a sure thing, listen to this friendly tip about a highly touted product.

(Closing Narration) Alfred Hitchcock: We've had our danse macabre. But as you know, someone must always pay the piper. Fortunately, we already have such a person, in fact, several of them. These philanthropic gentlemen wish to remain anonymous. But perhaps the more discerning of our audience will be able to find a clue to their identities in what follows. After which, I'll be back.(Fade to commercial.) Alfred Hitchcock: Thank you. Our unknown benefactors will bring us back again next week at this same time. Why don't you tune in and see what little surprises we have dreamed up for you? Good night.
