Best Answer

A teleplay is a play written or adapted for television. The term surfaced during the 1950s with wide usage to distinguish a TV script from stage plays for the theater and screenplays written for films.

What is the synopsis of the Alfred Hitchcock Presents Never Again TV episode?

The teleplay opens with a scene of a woman in a hopsital bed, recovering from the Hangover from Hell. She is an alcoholic who has vowed, Never Again, to succumb to the lure of booze. As so many alcoholics have found out, to quit drinking is easy; to live sober is, however, a very different thing. Our protoganist is jealous of her boyfriend and the cultured advertising crowd he hangs with; and, at a party one night, in a fit of "I'll-show-you," she accepts that ominous first drink, and goes on to drink everything she can get her hands on. (spoiler alert!) The teleplay ends with the woman being told that she is not in a hospital, as she had suspected; but is incarcerated for killing said boyfriend.
