Premiering in March 1958, this anthology series featured stories of horror and suspense in which some ruthless force pursued its target – a man, a family, a place – In one story, a helpless invalid became the target of a “mercy killer;” in another, a respected man was the target of a mining swindle.

Adolphe Menjou, who had earlier presided over the somewhat gentler Favorite Story anthology series, was the host and frequently starred in the episodes.

Others appearing included Angie Dickinson, Leonard Nimoy, Gene Barry, Dyan Cannon, Cesar Romero, John Le Mesurier, Macdonald Carey, Adrienne Corri, Lee Van Cleef, Ted Knight, Stuart Whitman, Joan Greenwood, Sam Kydd and Lon Chaney Jr.
