A stockbroker sells fake stock to people that he and his newlywed wife then decide to murder so they won't be found out. He invents a story about a has-been actress and her son pursuing revenge against these people for wrongs they did to his mother in order to throw suspicion off of himself and his wife. Torch and Toro send them to the chair.
