Fired from his job, a 41 year old man named Lou Paloma (Bruce Mcgill) is so upset that his wife Irene (Teri Garr) suggests she gets a job and he gets a better job since they are behind their bills. So Lou comes up with a scheme to earn money if he has his brother Billy (Bruno Kirby) who is a coroner as he wants to fake his death and collect half of his million dollar insurance as all he has to do is to fly to Brazil, get plastic surgery and wait for his wife to meet him.
A very well written and nicely paced episode that isn't scary or a horror but really more of a dark thriller comedy. Michael J Fox (Who makes a cameo in the trial scene) does a nice directorial job with this episode and co-stars Principle Strikland himself James Tolkan and Carrol Baker. I really like the script and how funny this episode is with dark comedy, it is based on a Shock Suspensestories story. I also like the twist ending this episode has even with the brilliant line spoke by Lou.
