Lady Killer is the very first episode of the legendary Thriller anthology series and the story follows wealthy American woman Jenny Frifth moves to England and falls for the very charming Paul Tanner but soon begins to fear that he might in fact be out to kill her.
A classic opening episode with murder in its heart. The series whole ouvre is laid out here, the American guest stars to help sell it to the US audience, big UK names, here Robert Powell and a gorgeous Linda Thorson and a plot that twists and turns and then does it again when you least expect it.
