Original Story by Ian Martin Directed by Himan Brown Host: E.G. Marshall

An advertising professional makes futile attempts to take the pictures of a beautiful model as all her photos turn out blank. In the process, he falls hopelessly in love with her until her real nature is revealed.

All of us daydream. It seems a harmless enough way of passing the time. But what might we do if some of the things that pass through our minds come true? Supposing the man or the woman we created in the mind's eye became reality, the phantom became flesh and blood. Our puzzling nerve-tingling tale begins as it ends, with sudden, irrevocable death.

You are Skyler Harris. Sky, to your friends, a typical commuter, an account executive at Lorne Peabody and Davis. Married 18 years, two children, Gary 16 and Lisa 12. $35,000 a year, and an expense account. You live up to every penny. You are bored at home, driven at the office, given to fantasizing about women because you don't have the courage to take a mistress. But you are to find one, and such a one, who will quite literally be the death of you.

Starring: Ralph Bell, Dan Ocko, Joan Lorring, William Redfield, Earl Hammond, Suzanne Grossman
