When Alice questions Joe as to whether his insurance policy is paid up, he begins to see a plot to murder him in everything she does. He shakes and sweats when he hears Alice discussing with the handyman how to use an ax, when she orders a gun for his birthday, when he finds a box of rat poison, and even when she offers to rub his neck. Soon Joe has been committed to a sanitarium for hallucinations.
