Plot:

"Trapped at Whit's End by a terrible storm, Dylan, Eugene, and Connie offer shelter to a couple. But after watching a spooky TV show and hearing a news flash about a nearby prison break, the trio becomes suspicious of the strangers—and the evening becomes a fear-filled misadventure! For ages 6 and up. 30 minutes." -- From CBD

"Thunder! Lightning! Mystery and a Moral!

The worst storm in decades brings much more than rain to Odyssey. "Adventures in Odyssey's" new video, A Stranger Among Us, is a misadventure of epic proportions that teaches the importance of not letting runaway emotions cloud sound judgment. Approx. 30 minutes in length. Recommended for ages 6 and up." -- From FOTF

Review:

Rating: 3 stars

Notes:

This video introduced Connie Kendall to the video world.

On the television during an opening scene, the following dialogue is heard: "He's got a gun!" "No wait!" Bang! Bang! Bang! Scream! "You killed him!".  Despite the fact that the AIO videos are made for a younger audience, it is very doubtful this dialogue would have been allowed on the AIO audio series, aimed for an older audience.
