John Chambers (Gene Barry) writes a newspaper advice column called 'Dear George'. It's a Dear Abby-like job and while John is at work, his wife is apparently having an affair. But how he learns about it is odd....he receives a 'Dear George' letter from someone asking advice on what to do about an affair they think is happening....at John's apartment!
John creates a plan to confront his wife and make it seem like he's at work at the time. This seems to work perfectly, as his secretary thinks he's been in his office the whole time....and the wife readily admits to having cheated on him. In anger, John bashes his wife to death...and when the police later arrive, he plays the part of the grieving husband. There is a lot more to the story than this....but I don't want to ruin the suspense.
This is a very complicated but enjoyable episode. Well written and worth seeing. And, as you'd expect, Barry was quite good....as was Lou Jacobi as the police investigator.
