| Synopsis | A woman hates her husband so she gives him small doses of arsenic trying to work up her nerve to finish him off, but all she succeeds in doing is allowing him to develop a tolerance to the stuff. When he overhears her plot to leave him in a sack for her lover to bury in a dug-up grave, he poisons her instead and puts her in the sack so that the lover buries her not quite dead. Then, he kills the lover with an ax. |
