Synopsis
Babs Fenton has a hyperactive imagination. She believes her new neighbor Charles Blanchard has killed his wife. That theory is quickly put to rest, however, as Mrs. Blanchard shows up at Fenton's door and introduces herself. That night, Fenton sees Mr. Blanchard carrying something from the house, and is again convinced that he has murdered his wife. Fenton is proven wrong again when Mrs. Blanchard shows up at her door. Mrs. Blanchard says her husband has taken a few belongings and left because of a fight. She then leaves. Babs then notices that a lighter is missing and comes up with a theory that Mrs. Blanchard is a kleptomaniac. Later, this theory proves wrong as well as Mrs. Blanchard announces a reconciliation with her husband. She also returns the lighter, saying her husband fixed it. (TV.com)
