Synopsis:

Lex Luthor plays sick mind games with an ordinary waitress. He offers her a life of luxury if she will only leave her husband and accompany him back to Metropolis as his mistress. Before she has made her mind up, he leaves, and the waitress is left wondering for the rest of her life what her choice would have been.
