Plot

Daisy Lowendahl is a best-selling suspense novelist who has been receiving threatening letters ever since an incident occurred in which a man killed a woman and claimed that he was inspired to do it by one of her novels. At a public event a man angrily accuses her of being responsible for the murder. She is frightened by the man and is plagued by a fear of being attacked when she is alone. At the suggestion of her husband she takes a short vacation at her isolated beach house, where she is visited by Spencer Weaver, a local young fan who knows almost everything about her. Her next visitor is Eddie Bruno, who claims to be a police detective and warns her that Spencer may be dangerous to her. Spencer insists that Eddie is not a cop and after a struggle Eddie is overpowered and tied up. Eddie begins revealing personal details about Daisy, claiming that her husband hired him to kill her that night.

After the success of his play

CBS initially intended to present it as a live theatrical production but ultimately decided that it would have to be adapted into a film due to the need for so many close-ups.[2]
