Directed by Peter S. Seaman (his only directing job, as he was the writer of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Doc Hollywood and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) who co-wrote it with Jeffrey Price (they also wrote those films together), “My Brother’s Keeper” is about cojoined twins Frank (Tim Stack) and Eddie (Jonathan Stark).

“Are you alone tonight? Well, consider yourself lucky…there could be two of you! And imagine what a fright-mare that could be. Just a reflection. Not so for tonight’s stars, Frank and Eddie. Two brothers who are touchingly close. When a woman tries to come between them, she finds herself caught in a tangled web of jealousy and intrigue. I think you’ll find it a twinning combination. So without futher ado, I bring you “My Brother’s Keeper.””

Frank is the good twin and Eddie the evil one. A doctor can get them apart, but there’s a fifty percent chance they’ll die, so Frank won’t undergo the operation. Frank falls for a girl named Maria (Jessica Harper!) who was actually hired by Eddie to push for the operation, even if Eddie keeps screwing up their dates and love life. He finally kills her with an axe which causes Frank to try and overdose on sleeping pills. When they wake up, they’ve been operated on, but who will the police arrest?

This episode is based on the story of the same name from Shock SuspenStories #16. It was written by William Gaines and Al Felder and drawn by George Evans.
