A friend of mine remembers an episode in an anthology series about a wealthy older man who inveigles a gigolo-type guy into some unusual games of chance, with unusual stakes attached. One of the games involves being able to light a cigarette lighter three or four times in a row. Seems simple, but the gigolo fails. At that point, the wealthy older man’s wife, who is wearing gloves and has been sitting there watching, pulls off one of her gloves to reveal…
stubs instead of fingers, because the stakes for not being able to light the lighter is having a finger chopped off.
Does this strike a bell with anyone?
