Fred Grandy plays a wealthy businessman whose wife was strangled in a motel room where she had recently trysted with her lover. The solution to the crime gives Det. La Guardia (Sidney Clute) a totally unexpected chance to shine when he notices that a blackmailer photographing the couple in flagrante also photographed the hotel room's TV set, running a soap opera La Guardia secretly and faithfully watches - and featuring a character which was supposedly off the show at the time the photo was taken.
