Suspense - A Matter of Timing

In "A Matter of Timing," a man hires a killer to murder his business partner but his plans soon go awry.

As the episode opens, a train departs the station...and two men meet on the platform. One is a hitman, and the other is Carl, a man who wants his business partner, Mark, killed. At first, the plan to kill Mark seems easy, but the hitman soon becomes weary of Carl and the unexpected delays.

Carl wants Mark killed because he hates being made to feel inferior. Mark wants to end their partnership, too, but feels a strong loyalty to his friend and business partner.

In the end, will Carl get what he wants?

"A Matter of Timing" was written by Ross Murray and produced/directed by Antony Ellis. William Conrad starred. Also appearing were Parley Baer, Virginia Gregg, Victor Rodman, Sam Edwards, Ralph Reed, and Robert Miller. This episode aired on June 12, 1956.

I haven't heard this but the plot seems eerily similar to another Suspense tale, "Alibi."
