I'll Take Care of You

John Forbes is a used car salesman who wants to be rid of his wife Dorothy because of her extravagent lifestyle. When two college students arrive wanting to buy a car, he sees an oppurtunity. He finds a car and runs over his wife later that night. He then takes the car to a mechanic to have it fixed before selling it to the students. After the car is sold, the police show up. They arrest the mechanic for murder. The mechanic wife arrives and tells John that she told the police about the murder. Since she wanted to be rid of her stingy husband, she told the police he did it. She then tells Forbes that he must support her extravagent lifestyle or else she will tell the police about him as well.
