As the episode opens, Dixie Evans, a dancer at the Oasis Club, has just entered the police station. She tells the officer in charge that her husband, Charlie, is trying to kill her. He has tried twice in the last twenty-four hours, and she is scared that next time he will succeed!
First, there was an assault in a casino parking lot and after that, the trouble in her hotel room. Then, she checked up on some of the things Charlie had told her. Lies!
