Thriller (1960–1962): The Last of the Sommervilles (Season 2 Episode 7 - aired 6 November 1961)

Phyllis Thaxter plays Ursula Sommerville, a seemingly dutiful servant to wealthy but eccentric Celia Sommerville (played by Martita Hunt), but in fact is a Sommerville herself, a few times removed, and the sole heir to Celia's fortune. When Celia's nephew Rutherford (played by Peter Walker) comes to visit trying to secure some money, his hopes are dashed, but this gives Ursula the idea to use him in a clever scheme to kill Celia in what will look like an accident. The plan works, but someone finds out about it, forcing them to plan another accident...
