Introduction
"The Canary Sedan" was originally broadcast on 15/Jun/1958 as part of the third season of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
Synopsis
Laura Bowlby is a psychic who wants to visit her husband in Hong King. She is picked up by a chauffer in a black sedan. Laura Bowlby says she does not like the color and would prefer a canary yellow one instead. This remark shocks the driver since the car was once canary yellow before a recent paint job. Inside the car, Laura begins to hear a woman's voice. The voice tells Laura about a passionate affair. Laura longs for such passion in her life because her husband James is quite unromantic and cold. After some research, Laura find the grave of the woman who has been talking to her. She looks at the gravestone and is unpleasantly surprised to see the initials of the dead woman and the initials of her own husband, James. (TV.com)
