Bob Dishy's father wants back the money Dishy has stolen from the company. Dishy's wealthy wife, Joanna Barnes, wants a divorce. Dishy's response is to take out a million-dollar insurance policy on her, and then hire Bill Dana for $25,000 to kill her. When it turns out that the doctor who examined her is not a doctor, Dana finds Dana to call it off. Dana, however, has hired Jack DeLeon for $20,000 to kill her. When they track him down.... well, you get how this is going.
It's all shtick all the time from insane characters, as I realized when they got down to Richard Libertini. Insane characters can be fun, but the audience needs someone to hold onto, some one to react to the insanity, which you don't get until Libertini and Vito Scotti are riffing off each other in. Italian. That wasn't anywhere near enough to keep my interest, and the writers seem to have agreed, since they didn't bother writing an ending.
