Myra Savage (Kim Stanley), a highly-strung spiritual medium, convinces her weak-willed husband to fake a child kidnapping so she can offer her services to the parents when all seems lost. Though horrified at the prospect, he reluctantly goes along with the plan but becomes more convinced than ever that Myra is losing her grip on reality. (Network)
