Yes, right now a glass full would be very pleasant, as Roma Wines bring you Edward G. Robinson, as both himself and as a certain Mr. Homer J. Hubbard, a man who thought he was Edward G. Robinson in this remarkable tale of SUSPENS!

What follows concerns primarily two persons. My self, Homer J. Hubbard, and my wife Ada Sampsey Hubbard. Even when I was courting it, I was aware that hers was a strong and domineering personality, to say the least.
And after we were married, well, at first I put up with Ada's constant nagging and petty persecutions as best I could. I put up with them for five long years. It wasn't until a memorable evening in 1930 that the first day in outlines of an escapant finally a plan began to take shape in my mind.
