Henry Farrington, tired of his failed business ventures and the overbearing control of his wife Agatha, plots to scare her with a blank gun, unaware that Grant, the man married to Agatha's niece Janet, swapped the bullets with real ones. Agatha is shot and killed, and suspicion falls on both Grant and Henry. As the truth unravels, it is revealed that Janet was the one who switched the bullets in an attempt to prevent her uncle from committing suicide, and Grant had his own plan to cause Agatha's death. The tale of greed, revenge, and deception is finally unraveled on the episode of The Whistler titled 'The Alibi'.
