Inhaltsangabe: Bart Conway, Robert Duvall is a struggling actor with a hot temper and a drinking problem. When he finds himself competing with fellow actor Jerry Lane (Charles Robinson) for the part of a strangler in an upcoming mystery, he invites Jerry over to his apartment to do a little rehearsing together. Bart gets a bit too into character, however, and chokes Jerry to death. To cover up his crime, he chops up the body and disposes of most of it with acid. The police drop by to question him about Jerry's disappearance, but finding nothing amiss, decide to leave -- until one of them looks in Bart's ice bucket...
