A man, desperate to get out of his marriage, wants to kill his wife. Sitting at a bar one day, over the course of a few drinks, he tells a man he meets about his problems. Artie, as he is called, says that he feels bad for the man, and he is willing to kill his wife for only a dollar. A little inebriated and in disbelief, the man hands the man a dollar and tells him sure. If you can kill my wife for a dollar, then here is your payment upfront.

A few days pass. Then a few weeks. And soon the man forgets about the encounter, meanwhile he and his wife come to reconciliation. Meanwhile, Artie is watching, stalking, waiting to make good on his contract.

One Friday, the man and his wife are out grocery shopping at the nearby Kroger. While in the produce section, the man tells his wife is going to find a bottle of wine for the evening. The wife now alone, Artie sees his chance to make his move. He innocently walks near her, and then suddenly wraps his hands around her throat. Violently choking her to death.

Just as she takes her last breath, the man comes back. He yells at him to stop, tries to fight him off, but it is too late. In anger, he tries to kill the psychopath, but he is soon overpowered and is killed also. Unfortunately, just as he is dying, an unlucky witness stumbles onto the crime, and he too is quickly killed.

It is a gruesome scene, police come, and slowly the entire story unfolds as to what happened.

The next morning, the newspapers read:

Friday at Woolworths, Artie Chokes Three for a Dollar In The Produce Section.
