There's quite a star studded guest cast this week....

... and that cast includes Jason Evers of "The Brain That Wouldn't Die", Robert Webber who was one of the Twelve Angry Men along with Jack Klugman, Carolyn Jones, and Ed Begley Jr. As he was just getting started at age 27.

An old man dies of what the hospital he is staying in says is a coronary, but his grandson (Ed Begley Jr) doesn't buy it. He pays the city the fee to do an autopsy and Quincy cannot determine cause of death, but can definitely say it was not a coronary. Then a few days later a very mentally ill patient in the same hospital dies suddenly in the night. Quincy's autopsy again cannot find the cause of death. Quincy thinks that he has a mercy killer on the loose when the exact same hospital reports a nurse found dead. Her autopsy turns out like the other two - cause of death unknown.

Things are made more complex when the doctor who runs the sanitarium admits that he is in favor of euthanasia. Could he be the perpetrator? Watch and find out.
