Dr. Antonio Bacile’s theory is that a person who wants to commit suicide may be convinced to take the life of another instead.

He thinks his theory is brilliant, but his editor, Martin Hellman, doesn’t agree. Not only does he advise against publishing Bacile’s theory, it makes him chuckle. Why, it even makes him laugh. Hellman then warns Bacile that his ideas are too crazy to publish.

Bacile tells Hellman that he will make him regret those words! He is going to prove his theory!

That same night, he finds the perfect person on whom to test his theory…and to make Hellman regret those chuckles.

But, will his theory work as planned?
