Two newlyweds witness a murder; a woman's face is shot away! Running from the gunman, the couple find the dead body back in their tourist cabin! The landlady finds the corpse and the groom winds up killing her! The story has a terrible cop-out ending. The script was previously used on "Inner Sanctum" on October 16, 1945 and subsequently on June 4, 1951 and September 14, 1952. Joe and Nancy Paige have been married hardly five hours and have parked up at the side of the road by the old mill stream, whispering sweet nothings to each other. As they are sat there, another car pulls up onto the bridge, not seeing them, and parks. A couple get out of the car, arguing. Suddenly, a gunshot rings out loudly into the night...
