About this episode
After a chance encounter with Al Grissom, a man strikingly similar to her husband Leo, Gloria Winters sees an opportunity. Seducing Al, she persuades him to join her in a scheme to kill Leo and flee to the Riviera with the insurance payout. They carefully plot to poison Leo with toxic mushrooms, and then have Gloria’s elderly family doctor certify the death as accidental. But as their conspiracy unfolds, the lovers' plans begin to diverge — leading to consequences neither could foresee.About If You Please, Himan Brown’s Radio Mystery Theater
