Storyline
Plot Summary |
Paul Devore is an unhappily married department store manager whose wealthy wife loathes him and refuses to divorce him, unwilling to give him half of her assets as community property. He blackmails a thirty-something shoplifter into coming to his house the following Sunday evening. Assuming he was going to force her to have sex, she is surprised to find the master bedroom ransacked and all of the valuables missing. She realizes Devore has staged a robbery and all he wants the shoplifter to do is tie him to the bed to make it look like a robbery. But what will Mrs. Devore say when she gets home and finds her husband in this state? Written by garykmcd |
