Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Suicidal Sylvia (Ann Todd) desperately wants to be reunited with Peter, the callous fortune-hunter whom she'd married after a whirlwind courtship, and whom she was forced to divorce by her wealthy father John Leeds (John McIntire). Aware of Sylvia's ardor, Peter approaches John and offers to leave for good if he is paid off. Upon finding this out, Sylvia pulls out a gun -- but whom will she shoot, herself or Peter? This episode is based on a short story by Ira Levin, of Rosemary's Baby fame.
