Story: man kills wife then puts her in the trunk to dispose of the corpse in some a deep swamp. But there's a zealous motorcycle patrolman on his way and fate (morals) is definitely tough with people with a corpse in their trunks.
The premise is simple but the story doesn't blossom from its initial stage. There's the man with a corpse in the trunk, a patrolman and a short-circuited tail light. Well, in the 50s television was barely radio with some images so who cared about the poor storyline? At least when Hitchcock used again this trick in the first part of Psycho he only kept the strict minimum to build the suspense without wearing it out.
