Roy and Valerie Comstock plan an elaborate swindle. She's going to be awarded all of his assets in their divorce, he'll fake his own suicide off his boat and they'll reunite in Mexico. John Conte is Roy and he seems about 20 years older than the beautiful Julie Adams, who plays Valerie. (Eleven years, to be exact.) The space program was a really big deal in 1963 and that shows in this episode.
Roy Comstock: Peter, your job is to put a man on the moon. Mine is to take care of our property.
Mr. Weatherby (attorney for Roy): His divorce seems to have quite unraveled him.
Peter: Well, he’d better stitch himself back together.
DS: A man can’t hide his assets behind his divorced wife, can he? I mean, the courts would call it collusion.
Roy: I’m dead, remember? I took the leap.
PM: Maybe she’s not a crook, Hamilton. Maybe she’s just a woman.
Confessor: It wasn’t really murder, because I didn’t mean to kill him.
PM: Why not send the bill to Hamilton? He’s the one who used the anchor.
PD: Why not send him the anchor?
