This episode may remind some viewers of the much-later theatrical feature Fargo--minus the grim humor, of course. Hoping to escape from an unhappy marriage, wealthy executive Alan Graves (Michael Graves) fakes his own kidnapping. Graves plans to collect $200,000 in ransom money from his hated father-in-law, then run off to New York with his mistress Dana Evans (Karen Carlson). Not surprisingly, things go horribly wrong for Graves long before the FBI catches up with him.
