In the pilot of the television series Night Gallery , Rod Serling introduces three separate paintings, each with its own story of uncanny vengeance against evil to tell. The first, "The Cemetery", involves a black sheep nephew Roddy McDowall who murders his rich uncle to inherit his fortune - both much to the detriment of the uncle's butler Ossie Davis - only to find that vengeance extends beyond the grave. In the second story, "Eyes", a rich, heartless woman Joan Crawford who has been blind from birth blackmails an aspiring surgeon and a man who desperately needs money to give her a pair of eyes which will allow her to see for the first time - even though for only half a day's time - only to have the plan backfire on her in ways she never imagined.
In the third story, "The Escape Route", a Nazi war criminal Richard Kiley is hiding from the authorities in South America, where he is confronted with his past demons and a curious Holocaust survivor Sam Jaffe and finds solace only in a serene painting in a museum, wanting nothing more than to enter into that world and stop running.
