Review
One night on Tower Bridge suicidal businessman Henry Bell rescues Karen Knightly from a failed suicide attempt. Henry confides to Karen that his misery has been caused by one Bruce Tick who has taken his job. Karen, on the other hand, hates a woman named Imogen Staxton Billing. In fact she hates her so much that she would like to see her dead, so she suggests that she and Henry switch murders.
The Revengers' Comedies is almost like a black comedy version of Alfred Hitchcock's classic "Strangers on a Train"; only this one has a shaky start and a rather contrived plot.
