Mary Astor is in the lead role, making it the second consecutive week that an actor from The Maltese Falcon starred on Suspense. It would be her only appearance on the series, as it was for Sydney Greenstreet. She plays Lucia Durant who is having anxiety issues, and her husband suggests a “tonic” that has the poison strychnine as an ingredient. If that’s not enough to consider in this story, there’s a love triangle going on.
