- One night, while watching The Night of the Living Dead, Harvey Turman (Lou Jacobi) gets a terrible pain in his back. It hurts so much, that he has to sleep on the kitchen. He dreams with Dr Roebuck (Farley Granger). His wife Nadine (Peggy Cass) was nagging him to learn about computer programming to earn some more money.
Harvey tries all kind of remedies, but he doesn't get better. Nadine only cares about shopping and money, but doesn't want to work at all, even when the opportunity arises. Roebuck says to Harvey that his pain is psychological: when he thinks or hears about his wife, he gets that terrible pain in his back. Roebuck offers to kill Nadine but make believe it's an accident. Roebuck only asks for Harvey's verbal consent.
When Harvey hears that Nadine is dead while going shopping, he gets well again. One night, Mrs Anne Tracey (Fay Sappington) says that she can't have a moment's rest since she killed Nadine. Harvey doesn't blame her, but then, she adds that she couldn't avoid it.
Roebuck phones him to insist that Harvey goes for a final check. Roebuck says that Mrs Tracy hit Nadine on purpose. Roebuck calls Harvey ungrateful. He wants to leave and not kill anybody. Roebuck says that he will stop having so much pain as soon as he kills the next in line.
Roebuck laughs wickedly when Harvey asks him who he is. In cold horror he realises that Roebuck is in fact the Devil.
