OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Originally Aired: October 16, 1947
In Suspense #267, “Self-Defense,” Barbara Newell seems to have everything wealth can buy—except love. Trapped in a loveless marriage to the cold and controlling Jonathan Newell, Barbara finds herself drawn first to an old flame, Fred Dexter, and then hopelessly in love with a charming pianist, Alex Maynard. Desperate for freedom and convinced divorce is impossible, Barbara devises a chillingly clever plan: manipulate Fred into murdering her husband, then eliminate Fred and claim self-defense. But in a tale of passion, deceit, and fatal miscalculation, Barbara overlooks one crucial detail—Fred has never met her husband. In a stunning twist worthy of Suspense, love, greed, and murder collide with devastating consequences.
