Plot:
Detective Garrison (Lee J. Cobb) is investigating a brutal murder that was committed at a theme park called the Garden of Evil. Initially, the show’s gorilla Goliath appears to be to blame. As Garrison digs deeper, though, he begins to suspect many of the park’s entertainers and staff members instead. Jealousy and deceit abound amongst the suspects, who include Goliath’s keeper (Raymond Burr), a man who does a stage show dressed as a gorilla (Cameron Mitchell) and a trapeze performer (Anne Bancroft)…
