Mercedes McCambridge guest-stars as Deborrah Banning, the wife of Baltimore publisher Horace Manning (Hayden Rorke). Having married for money and social prestige, Deborrah ended up living in poverty and obscurity due to her husband's many financial failures. Now living vicariously through her daughter Melinda (Audrey Dalton), Deborrah is determined that Melinda will marry a Cartwright -- any Cartwright. The plot thickens when Melinda rejects Joe, who loves her dearly, in favor of Adam, who doesn't. First telecast January 14, 1962, "The Lady from Baltimore" was written by John Peyser. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
