| ShortSummary=Wade Anders (]) is a former security expert and host of the popular '']''-esque crime show ''CrimeAlert''. One day, he gets an unexpected visit from his rival, chain-smoking newscaster Budd Clarke (]), whom he blocked from becoming the ''CrimeAlert'' host. Clarke has resented how he was snubbed in favor of Anders, but now, he's got some leverage that he hopes will get Anders out of the ''CrimeAlert'' chair: a porn video Anders starred in many years ago, and Clarke plans to go public with the tape unless Anders resigns from the show. Anders decides to kill him rather than be disgraced. He palms a pack of Clarke's cigarettes, which he doctors with a few drops of ] poison nicotine sulfate. Anders then pays two visits to his production office -- once that night and again the next morning -- so a surveillance tape there will show him at the office all day. Anders then drives to Clarke's house, and switches a cigarette pack for the poisoned pack. Once Clarke takes one of the poisoned cigarettes and dies, Anders makes it look like Clarke had a heart attack at his desk |
