Henry Auden (Leonard Nimoy) is dealing with the loss of his wife, who died after years of a prolonged illness, a time in which he played caregiver. All he can feel is relief, but it’s a strange place to be in, a man who has been more nurse than a husband to a woman who was once his lover.

Barbara (Lorraine Gary) is Margaret’s best friend and she’s unconvinced that Henry is grieving enough. She leaves her orange tabby Jennet for company, which he claims he doesn’t need. And then he hears the bell that his wife used to use to summon him.

Now sure that a gigantic cat is loose in his house, Henry starts to sleep at the office. At every turn, his dream of a single life does not appear. The secretary he planned on being with, June (Kathryn Hays), seems to savor the idea that now that he can finally have her, she wants nothing to do with him.

Henry goes home and battles two of the big cats that are loose around his house, but finally realizes that he has to die. He walks to his room and when we see him again, he’s covered in blood and Jennet is licking a red pool in the carpet.

Directed by Gerald Perry Finnerman (the director of photography for sixty episodes of the original Star Trek) and written by David Rayfiel (Lipstick) and based on a short story by Andrea Newman, this is a story that really goes nowhere and has a resolution that makes no sense. It feels like someone just threw together some ideas and hoped that it would make more sense than it does.
