In "One Way Ride to Nowhere," Alan Ladd stars as a private detective who investigates a murder at a seaside amusement park.
As the episode opens, Tom Dwyer and his friend, Benny, buy tickets for the Ocean City roller coaster. Benny doesn't enjoy these kinds of things, but he goes along to humor his friend.
After the ride is over, Benny refuses to go around a second time. Then, he notices that one of the other passengers has passed out.
Upon closer examination, they realize that the passenger hasn't just keeled over. He is dead!
But, the dead guy didn't purchase a ticket and he didn't get into the roller coaster car before the ride started.
So, how and why did he end up in the roller coaster car?
