Alberg is taking some time away from the office when a neighbor asks him for help. Emma O'Brea is a devoted wife whose husband has mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind every one of his prized possessions, including his gun. As Alberg begins to investigate, he begins to feel that this marriage was not all wine and roses-and that Emma O'Brea may have other reasons for wanting her husband found. Meanwhile, across town, drugstore delivery man Eddie Addison inadvertently insults an attractive young woman who is a student at the university. Unable to forget the encounter and unable to forgive himself for upsetting the pretty woman, he becomes obsessed with the idea of making it up to her. Eddie is a simple-minded man who initially means no harm, but sometimes he reacts uncontrollably and violently to situations he doesn't understand. So when his efforts to apologize receive no response, he decides he must teach this student a lesson. Eddie soon finds himself trapped in a downward spiral of increasing violence, and eventually meets up with Emma O'Brea in a startling confrontation. '--publisher.
