Hadley Purvis, an advertising man, finds himself facing a divorce if he doesn't knock off his heavy drinking.

Trivia

In a long scene involving an advertising campaign presentation, actor Bill Raisch appears uncredited among the dozens of male clients in business suits who make up the audience. A few months after this aired, Raisch would become well-known to TV audiences as the infamous one-armed man in "The Fugitive" (1963 - 1967). Throughout the scene, Raisch holds a folder over the right sleeve opening of his suit coat to disguise the fact that he has no right hand...or arm.

Quotes

Himself - Host: Naturally, these remarks have nothing at all to do with tonight's story. They are meant to divert your attention so that our sponsor can sneak up on you. And here he is, ready to pounce.
