Tony Barrett and Charlotte Lawrence star in the second production of this Gloria Elmore and Jimmy Barnett story. A man with employment problems has an unhappy wife. She is jealous of other couples and wants some of the better things in life that everyone else seems to have. The household tension leads him to agree to some weekend relaxation time to get away from their problems and get a fresh start at solving them. He thinks he’s on a fishing trip with friends, but the friends aren’t there. He soon realizes his wife and the captain are having an affair, intent on collecting his life insurance by staging an “accident” while at sea. His only hope is the first mate, but the captain has drugged him so he won’t resist the plan. The husband realizes he is alone. Since the staged “accident” did not work, things are about to take a more deadly turn.
The first broadcast of this script starred Dan Dailey. Background about the authors and other aspects of the production can be found at:

There are two surviving recordings of the broadcast. The network recording has some defects and has some signs of wow and flutter issues, especially at the end. The Armed Forces Radio Service recording (AFRS#815) has much better overall sound. It is new to circulation.
