Phyllis Thaxter stars as Elsa Hollands, a woman who spends most of the episode complaining and being unpleasant. It all begins when her husband, Keith (Arthur Kennedy) insists that they rent a lovely home on the beach...the sort of place most folks dream of owning. Oddly, however, Elsa is against the idea and complains about it....even going so far as to try to get her husband to break the lease because she hates the place for no clear reason. In other ways, too, she just seems unpleasant and bitter and seems to also worry a lot about Keith chasing younger (and less irritating) women. On the other hand, Keith is no great prize and does seem to be the sort of guy who thinks he's still quite young and tries a bit too hard to fit in with the younger crowd.
Later in the episode, Keith begins digging in the cellar. He says it's to improve drainage and make the place less cold and wet...but it does seem like a prelude to burying Elsa there. Is he planning on ridding himself of an unpleasant wife or is something else happening with this most unpleasant couple?
Like some of the other one hour episodes, this one seems to have enough material for a much shorter show. Now this isn't to say it's bad...just stretched out too much. But the episode itself otherwise is only fair to middling...as there isn't all that much suspense and the twist, though interesting, wasn't enough to make this a must-see show.
