Synopsis: In love with another woman, disc jockey Garry decides to murder his wife. During his set, he plays a record (remember those?) with a 33-minute playing time. This gives him enough time to get home, murder his wife, and return to the studio. The perfect alibi, isn't it? But, sometimes, those darn vinyl records would stick in one spot, playing the same short passage over and over.
