  • From the CBS Video Library cover: "For his fifth birthday, Grandma Bayles gives her devoted grandson Billy —whom she possessively thinks of as "her son"—a toy telephone, then promptly takes sick and dies. Though initially sad, Billy soon perks up, spending all his time talking animatedly into the toy. He claims Grandma is on the other end, that she wants him to join her. Billy is the victim of a macabre tug-of-war...and only love can possibly save him."
