You just knew things weren't as they looked....and sure enough, they weren't. This was a neat ending, a nice twist to an interesting story filled with action and suspense. Well, at least more than normal.

The introduction gets your attention right away as a woman is electrocuted in her basement, thanks to her husband. As the story starts - apparently some years after that incident - a couple of old biddies come to "Mother's" looking to hire Peter Gunn. Their pathetic sister has married some guy they think is a crook. Well, it turns out to be that guy who electrocuted his former wife. The man does have quite a background, Pete discovers, leaving a number of dead wives, and has spent time in jail for other things. All of this is unknown to the wallflower who married him, a 50-year-old in love for the first time and who doesn't care so long as she has someone.

The sisters get knocked off and someone throws a Molotov cocktail at Gunn. Pete knows the wife is going to be next, giving the man the money he's looking when this latest wife dies..

A showdown ensues and a real surprise happens. Not wanting to use spoilers, I'll leave it there.
