I recall a lot of TV shows using the Irish Sweepstakes as a plot device when I was a kid. No more, since the program gave way to numerous government sponsored lotteries since then. It ended in 1987. This story finds a winning ticket buried in the jacket of a dead man, with a conniving new husband torn between retrieving it, and the knowledge that he might be implicated in murder if an autopsy were to be performed on the corpse. Of course, everything goes the wrong way for Steven Archer (Steve Forrest) when his wife (Joanna Moore) insists on pursuing the treasure that might reside in a coffin. Lucky for her she had a willing insurance investigator (James Gregory) to help her, or she would have been joining her former husband in the cemetery. This one wasn't all too difficult to figure out, but it does put you on edge with that electric fan about to hit the bathtub. But then again, if the fuse was pulled, the heater wouldn't have been working to begin with.
