Fran (Jan Sterling) is a gambling addict. Apparently, some time ago, she got into a lot of trouble because of this and it appears that she MIGHT be gambling once again. The husband does what is probably the best thing in a case like this when he informs Fran that if she gambles again, he's going to leave once and for all. She denies strongly that she's been gambling....and as soon as he leaves for work, you see that she has been gambling again as well as lying to try to hide it. As a result, her bookie is mad because he owes her money and he threatens to go to her husband to get the money and she realizes this could spell the end of the marriage. The rest of the show is about the crazy lengths to which she goes to earn the money...as well as a neat twist ending. But what really made this a great show was what happens AFTER this twist...as it just illustrates how this is an addiction as strong as drinking or drugs. Informative, well written and pretty sad in a way.
