Part 1:Dorothy

Bud Corliss wants a lot of money for a golden future. So he starts a relationship with Dorothy Kingship, who has a rich father; Leo Kingship: president of Kingship Copper, an enormous corporation. But then she gets pregnant and he is very angry. He pretends he loves her and makes her promise to take some pills to get rid of the baby. In a flashback it is shown that the young man (Bud) was very popular at school. After the war he had several jobs and had an affair with a rich widow. He decided to study at Stoddard University, where he met Dorothy Kingship.

He gives Dorothy the pills, promising to marry her if they don’t work. Dorothy has two elder sisters, Ellen and Marion. Their mother died a year after she and her husband were divorced. The pills do not work and they decide to get married on Friday, in three day’s time. He makes Dorothy promise not to mention the marriage to her sister Ellen. In fact Bud doesn’t want to get married and starts making plans to murder Dorothy. On Thursday he asks Dorothy to translate a Spanish line for him, which reads: ‘Darling, I hope you will forgive me for the unhappiness that I will cause. There is nothing else that I can do.’ He mails the translation, in Dorothy’s handwriting, to Ellen Kingship. Then he gives Dorothy poison pills, but she doesn’t take them. On Friday morning Dorothy is not dead. She says the pills didn’t work, but he assumes she didn’t take them. He realises that Ellen will receive the note in the afternoon and Dorothy!

must be dead before that time. They decided to marry right away. When they arrive at the Marriage License Bureau, it is closed. Bud knows that, but he pretends to be surprised and sorry to find it closed. He says they can spend the next half-hour on the roof of the building, which is fourteen storeys high. Then he pushes Dorothy from the building, sending her to her death. The newspapers report Dorothy’s death and say it is suicide, because of the note her sister received.
