synopsis
When he takes a voluntary pay cut to help out his financially strapped boss, Dick Paine (Skip Homeier) must face the wrath of his nagging wife Beth (played by no less than Joanne Woodward). Demanding that Dick stand up for his rights, Beth tells him to go back to the office and confront his pinchpenny boss. Alas, Dick returns empty-handed, leading to a tragic denouement. This final episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents' first season was previously heard on the radio anthology Suspense under the title "Too Little to Live On," starring Ozzie and Harriet Nelson.
