Disclose Notes: The plot of this story is virtually identical to the story "Revenge" by Samuel Blas, which appeared in Collier's Weekly, January 11, 1947, and was adapted to an episode of the "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" television show in 1955.

The same plot was used for the stories "Murder May Boomerang" in Crime SuspenStories (EC, 1950 series) #1 (October-November 1950) and "Revenge" in Witches Tales (Harvey, 1951 Series) #21 (October 1953).
