- Daniel Corban's wife Elizabeth disappeared after they had a fight. Then she shows up, yet he insists that the woman isn't actually his wife.
- As Labor Day weekend begins, Starfish automobile executive Daniel Corban, who is on his honeymoon with his bride of two weeks, Elizabeth, at a lavish secluded lakefront house in the quaint summer resort community of Skuylkill, is frustrated. First, Elizabeth has not been seen in three days, and second, Skuylkill police inspector Murray Levine, who has a down-home attitude that matches the town's slow pace, isn't doing much to find her despite Daniel's insistence. Levine doesn't see it as a police case since by Daniel's own admission she left of her own volition after the two had an argument. Levine has at least vowed that members of his department will look out for her and her missing vehicle. Daniel's frustration increases when a woman who claims to be Elizabeth, but is not, returns in what looks like Elizabeth's car. He is unable to convince anyone, including Levine, that she isn't Elizabeth. And anyone in Skuykill who states to have seen Elizabeth before vows that she is who they know to be her, including local priest, Father Kelleher. What is even more frustrating is that every so often, when the two are alone, she will imply that she is indeed not Elizabeth and that she has some nefarious plan for him. Is she trying to kill him? Is she trying to drive him crazy? Or is there some other grand plan for what is happening?—Huggo
- The play, originally from Paris and written by M. Robert Thomas, called Trap for a Solitary Man in UK, referred to as Trap for a Single Man or Trap for a Lonely Man in the US, is the basis for the movie One of My Wives is Missing, which was remade as Vanishing Act. It may also have connections with the movie Chase a Crooked Shadow.
This is a story of a woman who disappears at the start of her honeymoon, after a fight with her husband. The wife returns but the husband insists that she is not his wife. The police inspector is caught between the disparate stories.
