Alfred Hitchcock Presents: De Mortuis (1956)
Middle-aged professor Clarence Rankin (Robert Emhardt) is spending his day off filling a hole in his basement with cement. His friends Wally Long (Henry Jones) and Bud Horton (Philip Coolidge) drop by, see the hole, and assume that Clarence has murdered his cheating wife Irene (Cara Williams) and is preparing to bury her body. Out of loyalty, and feeling that Clarence is justified in his actions, Wally and Bud offer to help him cover up his "crime." Thing of it is, Clarence never even suspected that Irene was unfaithful...up until now. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
