"Ten O'Clock Tiger" is the second episode featuring Frankie Darro and the first with Robert Keith, though Keith's son, Brian, was in many episodes of this series. The theme and setting for this one is a first for "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", as it's about boxing and much of it's set in a gym.

When the episode begins, Boots (Darro) insists that a certain broken down horse will win a race....and The Professor (Keith) is impressed when the horse does win...and sets a course record. How? Boots tells him he has created a formula that gives animals amazing power and it's undetectable. So, The Professor decides to try it on a fighter who is way, way past his prime. Soon, the guy looks unstoppable. As for Boots, he urges The Professor to just let the old guy retire. But, The Professor is greedy and want to make his fighter the champion. And, since this is "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", you know sooner or later there's going to be a twist.

This is a pretty average episode of the series....enjoyable, well written and with an appropriate ending. Worth seeing.
