Paul Devore (Richard Long) is a snake of an assistant manager at a department store, married to a wealthy woman (Rebecca Sand) he wants to divorce and get community property from but she'll have none of it. So, he devises a scheme he needs an accomplice for, blackmails a shoplifter (Coleen Gray) and has her come over while his wife is away. She arrives expecting he wants sex, but finds he has ransacked the house and stolen all his wife's jewelry. Then the fun starts. He has her tie him to the bed, fully clothed, and she gets that he is staging a burglary. She follows his instructions and leaves when he tells her to. Then his wife comes home.....
This episode is nasty but deliciously so. Long, Sand and Gray are wonderful, and it's gratifying to see someone as slimy and stupid as Paul Devore get what's coming to him. That just doesn't happen in the real world enough.
