The dichotomy in this episode has to do with the beauty of art versus avarice. We have an autistic young man who can reproduce virtually anything he sees. He spends his days by the river with his friend, painting the same scene over and over. He says he is not creative, but the paintings use diffeent mediums and colors. The story begins with a tough looking fellow losing at a dog track and calling someone to say he is in deep. Later, he is found in the old Oxford Library, Compulsive gambling is at the center of everything. Not long after, the pretty young girlfriend of the autistic boy is murdered. Soon several players are uncovered: friends, professors, neighbors, etc. The workmanship of the plot is quite good. While the characters are quite one dimensional, it's still a very well constructed tale.
