Carl Spann (Meeker) wakes up early for his first day at a new job and makes his wife Elsa breakfast. Carl briefly speaks with neighbor Mrs. Fergusen before driving to work, and Mrs. Fergusen offers to take Elsa to market, as Elsa has nothing to do in their new location by the sea, having been given advice by doctors to take a break after having to retire from her career as professional ballerina due to a nervous breakdown. While Carl is at work, Elsa is apparently attacked and left traumatized by an intruder, claiming to be a salesman, in their trailer park home, as Carl comes home to a burning cake and Elsa in a state of shock. After reporting it to police officers, two lieutenants take over handling the case. After talking to Elsa's doctor, Carl decides to take Elsa on a vacation. Later, while driving in town, Elsa points out a man in a gray suit as her attacker. Seeking revenge, an enraged Carl follows the man and kills him in his hotel room with a wrench, and a maid quickly finds the body. However, a little later Elsa, still mentally disturbed, identifies another man as her attacker, leading Carl to realize, too late, that he might have killed an innocent man, just as the police close in on them.

Musician Kim Stanger (Forsythe) returns home to the U.S. after four years in Rome and Paris, hoping to reunite with his estranged father, Greg, who has not answered any of his letters. After being dropped off by local cabbie Mason, he runs into old acquaintance Douglas Irwin, his sister-in-law's father, who is quite surprised to see him and tries to get Kim to call his family first. Upon returning home, he learns that his father died four years ago of a heart attack on the tennis court, a fact that his brother Perry and sister-in-law Susan did not tell him. Kim suspects foul play, as Perry inherited everything in the will and Kim finds a hunting license dated after Greg supposedly died in that October, so he inquires with Irwin, who says that Perry just got the date wrong. Kim then goes to see a cemetery official, Gerald Eaton, whom he pressures to let him see the body, Eaton admitting that there is no body in the coffin. Next, Kim sees the coroner, Isaiah Dobbs, who claims ignorance because the former coroner retired, stating that three men (Greg, Irwin, and Greg's son) went hunting, and only two returned alive. Kim eventually learns from Susan that he is the one who killed his father, and the family staged the incident and bribed people to make it look like an accident. He has been in an Arizona mental hospital for four years and his memories of Paris are just a delusion.

While talking privately, Mary agrees to carry a luxury watch for Gubak, but during the customs inspection Jan turns her in to Customs Officer Trevitch for smuggling luxury items. Mary is arrested, and Professor Klopka, who is actually Captain Kriza, attempts to interrogate her for evidence. However, she is released soon afterward when the watch is discovered to be fake and Kriza believes the entire event to be an attempt to raise outrage internationally. Mary is soon visited by Jan on the train to Munich, and she learns that he is part of the underground resistance. The charade was to create a distraction that enabled Gubak to smuggle sensitive microfilm out of the country containing information written by an imprisoned and tortured bishop. Gubak gives Mary the microfilm and urges her to write the truth about his country.

His landlord Mr. Treadwell (Julian) shows up to angrily demand two months' worth of rent money while Ralph tries to get his bearings. Ralph travels to find Lucille at her job at the soap company, but the circumstances are different than had previously occurred, as the boss is not present and Lucille turns him down.

Mr. Hollister (Gates) is curator of a small museum that displays trinkets and human remains. He is visited by Newton B. Clovis (McCormick) who claims to be an archaeo-psychologist. They peruse through Hollister's collection before focusing on one particular skeleton, which Hollister said that he knew and who Clovis says was an athlete. Hollister tells him that the museum's collection was made by his son, Ben (Convy), who died after being erroneously convicted of first-degree murder. Clovis determines that Ben was kind and caring. A flashback details how Ben hunted down a gray fox in a neighbor's barn while lovers Tim McCaffrey (Gilleran) and his girlfriend (Tompkins) watched. Tim struck Ben down with a pitchfork, and Ben's gun fired when he fell, killing Tim. Hollister was angry that District Attorney Mr. Henshaw (Platt) did nothing to stop the newspaper and the public from predetermining Ben to be guilty of murder. Henshaw used Ben's marksmanship (hitting the eye with every shot) against him while the judge (Meredith) struggled to maintain order in the courtroom and the defense attorney (Bradley) struggled to keep Ben from consistently committing outbursts.

Leonard Thompson (Balsam) visits Simms Mortuary to get information from owner Simms (Whitehead) about the highest quality of funeral arrangements for $4,780, which he agrees to purchase. Thompson is tired of being stuck with his miserly and invalid wife Elise 'Elsie' (Nathan) and longs for adventure anywhere else. After his secretary (Brown) informs him, he goes to see hobbyist merchant Bradshaw (Pickens) and looks over exotic foreign weapons. Meanwhile, Elsie is visited by Dr. Maxwell (Robinson) at their home, and she blames Leonard for her illness by taking her to Haiti, where she got sick. Maxwell says that she could live another 30 years if she would only exercise more often, a thought that Leonard dreads to hear. Thompson purchases the funeral arrangements in cash, quits his job, and runs into bicycling neighbor child Billy Howard (Russell), whom he gives life advice after dropping an amulet, buying movie tickets, and talking of going on a big trip. Thompson then goes to purchase poison from the pharmacy clerk (Kane) and pours it into a glass of milk, but it is not for Elsie — instead, Leonard commits suicide by drinking it just as Simms comes to collect the body. Supporting Cast: Bartlett Robinson as Dr. Maxwell, O.Z. Whitehead as Simms, Bryan Russell as Billy Howard, Susan Brown as Secretary, George Kane as Pharmacy Clerk

Married Elise Taylor (der Vlis) is having an affair with married farm equipment salesman Bish Darby (Best), and they flirt cautiously while at a New Year's party with Bish's wife Jackie (Sherwood) and Elise's husband Ken (Flynn). Others, such as Dr. Bob Hudson (Elliot) and wife Della (Brando), notice Bish's charisma while he sings. Bish and Jackie's children Bob (Rush) and Mattie (Whitney) adore their father and greatly miss him when he goes on business trips. While Jackie is away on a trip to her parents in Mississippi, Ken walks in on the pair and shoots Bish dead. Elise even tells friend Della that she married Ken because she thought he would let her get away with anything. Dr. Hudson is called to the scene as Police officers (Lockwood) watch. When Dr. Hudson calls Jackie, she confesses to the murder, thinking that Bish drank her poisoned saccharin. Elise, though, drank the saccharin with her coffee after Bish was shot, herself then shortly dying afterward.

District Attorney Rudy Cox (Nielsen) is gardening when he gets a visit from Assistant DA Cliff Woodman about information leaking that they have indecent connections to criminals. Cox has been hiding his relationship with racketeer Mac Davis (Stone), who saved his life in the war in Germany years ago. Davis goes to an apartment he holds, only for him to be met by associate Ernie Stillinger (Landers), who is armed and desperate to dispose of evidence that will be used against him at trial. Davis promises Ernie that he will fix things regarding witness Lou Heinz (Kates), as Ernie has no desire to return to jail. Cox meets with the mayor (Arnt) to discuss Heinz as a witness and the relationship between Cox and Davis, and the mayor threatens to remove Cox if he doesn't get an indictment and conviction. Cox goes to meet Heinz, who holds all the evidence in his mind, rather than on paper. A zippo lighter outlining the initials "M.D." and "1944" is left behind at Heinz's apartment hideout as a threat, after he had gone out to obtain alcohol and was apparently seen. Cox goes home to spend time with his wife Helen (Robinson), but she leaves, and Davis arrives afterward in secret. Davis tells Cox to drop the case and also that he is going straight and will leave the business to get married. However, a police lieutenant (McLeod) stops by the next day to tell Cox that Heinz was killed that night around 10:00 PM, and Davis's only alibi is that he was with Cox at the time of the murder, but Cox refuses to acknowledge Davis and says that he has not seen him since he took office. Supporting Cast: Harry Landers as Ernie Stillinger, Bernard Kates as Lou Heinz, Ann Robinson as Helen Cox, Charles Arnt as George the Mayor, Charles Carlson as Cliff Woodman, Howard McLeod as Police Lieutenant, Syl Lamont as Hoodlum
