A Day Like Today

This episode presents a story of a middle-aged widower fighting a lonely battle for his life. For Walter Matthews, Friday has been just one more day in a succession of bad days. Trying to ease a splitting headache, he accidently takes poison. He proceeds to review the previous 24 hours. He is a harried business executive. He is interested in his secretary Helen and she in him, but they have done nothing about it. His daughter Dolores invites him to dinner and then cancels. His son Mark refuses to share a summer cottage with him. As all this passes before Walter, he still wants to live and he prays for another day.
