"Scene of the Crime" is an installment of "The US Steel Hour", an anthology series that ran from the 50s into the 60s.
The story is set at a rooming house with several residents. A man (Harry Townes) arrives...asking to rent a room. The owner is gone but one of the residents (Betty White) shows him around and helps him with a room. Soon he tells her why he is there. Apparently, 20 years ago, he lived in this rooming house and left when he was arrested for murdering a woman! But the memory about this is blank and he's trying to piece it all together. What's next?
The story is nearly impossible to believe. But the writer still managed to make an interesting story and it kept my interest. And, fortunately, the ending is quite good and makes it worth seeing.
