Don't Let It Choke You

Carleton Fiske, a wealthy, confirmed bachelor of elegant taste, is made the ward of a distant relative, a scruffy 17-year-old, teenaged girl. Bascombe, Fiske's devoted manservant, is even more appalled at Gerry's arrival as he learns the police are questioning Fiske about the murders of three former girlfriends and a wealthy customer of his. When Gerry expresses her admiration for Fiske, Bascombe decides to take the situation into his own hands—literally.

In this Boston drama by Stanley Houghton, Carlton Fisk lives a quiet life still mourning his lost love Wanda. He shares his home with his housekeeper Bascom and his lively cousin Jerry who came from New York.
