Brief Synopsis: "Unsuspecting Mr. Dietrichson becomes increasingly accident prone after his icily calculating wife encourages him to sign a double indemnity policy proposed by a smooth-talking insurance agent.

Perfect until a claims manager gets a familiar feeling of foul play and pursues the matter relentlessly."
