Summaries

When electrocuted by the basement fuse box at home, Graham Marshall develops sinister ideas concerning both his nagging wife Leslie and his colleague Robert Benham, who was given Graham's promotion at their corporate office.

When you think you're at the top of the corporate ladder and then discover they have managed to pull that ladder away, sometimes you have to take it upon yourself to "level" the playing field, both professionally and personally. Sir Michael Caine delivers an electrifying performance as Graham Marshall, who quickly catches onto the possibilities as he clears all the hurdles to occupy the corner office.—Edgy01
