Episode 0099 "Dressed To Kill"

Original Story by Bob Juhren Directed by Himan Brown Host: E.G. Marshall

An out-of-work actor concocts a scheme to fake his death and then "play" his wife in order to collect the insurance payoff.

I've been waiting for you. Welcome to the world of suspense and imagination, a world where nothing is impossible and everything is foolproof, At least that's what Peter Vincent thought. The hero of our tale Peter Vincent is approaching middle age not quite fair but already beginning to experience the disillusions, the restlessness that comes from feeling we're capable of better things and fearing time will run out before we achieve them. But Peter Vincent, who lives by his wit, his charm, his cunning, hit one day on a scheme that appeared to be his great triumph.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. And Peter Vincent is about to weave a tangled web of deception, the likes of which he has never tried before and hopes never to have to try again. Our story begins in a cheap but clean and well -run apartment house on New York City's west side.

Starring: Robert Morse, Bryna Raeburn, Michael Tolan, Dan Ocko, Earl Hammond
