Faking his own death for the insurance money, a sleazy hypnotist’s devious plan hits a big snag... Stars Don Francks.
The Great Santini, a sleazy hypnotist, has been buried alive. It’s an insurance scam and he intends to double cross his wife, just as soon as she’s collected half a million.
But first he needs Rose to dig him out. He's six feet underground and running out of oxygen. Just how great are Santini's powers of persuasion?
Written by John Graham.
