The premise

A married woman and her lover plot to kill her husband to make off with the insurance money. However, their attempt to murder him using poisonous fish toxins backfires in surprising ways.

Horror Vault's take

A scheming wife and her secret lover set a deadly trap for her unsuspecting husband, banking on a lethal poison to clear the path to a hefty insurance payout. What follows is a cat-and-mouse thriller that proves some people are a lot harder to kill than anticipated. Confined spaces and buried secrets fuel a slow-burn sense of dread as the tables begin to turn in unexpected directions. This 1990 TV movie punches above its budget with a nasty premise and a satisfying vengeful streak.
