Glynis

This was the pilot for the tv show ""Glynis"", made by Desilu studios. The characters' names were a little different, but Glynis Granville was a harebrained wife of John Granville, an attorney. She helped him solve crimes with her convoluted logic.

Ken Bradford's rich uncle is missing, two days after they had a heated argument. Now he's convinced he will be charged with the murder of the old man. Glynis and Chick, thinking he is guilty, go to the uncle's creepy mansion to prove it. There, Glynis must deal with the real murderer.

A rash of murders of dime a dance girls inspires Glynis to write a book about the same subject. When Keith won't give her the help she thinks she needs to know her subject, she surreptitiously takes a job in a dance hall to do her own 'research'. Coincidentally, the murderer shows up and is smitten with her.

While on a trip to Fresno to try a case, Keith and Glynis become lost, their car breaks down, and Keith has to push it to the nearest motel (Martha's Motel). What they don't know is that the manager of the hotel and her husband have just killed her sister (Martha)and hung her in the cooler (hence, the title of the segment). They have a comedy of errors trying to avoid detection, while Glynis inadvertently witnesses a murder but Keith doesn't believe her.

Harry Dixon, a gambler, offers to give the inside story of ""Willie the Fink"", a gangster, to Glynis.

Do-it-yourselfer Mr. Butterworth says he's writing a story, and asks Glynis for ideas about committing the perfect murder—but the victim is to be his wife.
