Episode Overview
Title: Anyone for Murder? Plot: James Parkerson, a psychology professor, places an ad in a newspaper offering insights on how to eliminate a spouse. This catches the attention of the police, but he cleverly persuades them that he's conducting research for a study. Soon after, he hears from Robert Johnson, who is seeking a method to murder his lover’s husband. As Johnson describes his lover and her spouse, Parkerson realizes the target is himself and his wife, Doris. Parkerson hires a hitman, Bingham, to take out Johnson, but Johnson ends up killing Bingham instead. Fearing exposure, Johnson reaches out to Doris, proposing they frame the hitman for Parkerson's murder, unaware that Doris still has feelings for her husband and won't betray him.
