Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Extortionist Jimmy French (Robert Loggia) selects as his latest patsy Maude Sheridan (Barbara Baxley), the lovelorn secretary of psychiatrist Dr. Cooper (Theodore Newton). Pretending to be in love with Maude, French uses her to gain access to Cooper's files, thus enabling him to blackmail the shrink's patients. Choosing the file of one "M.J.H." as his first victim, the enterprising French succeeds only in outsmarting himself -- and losing his life in the process.
