Synopsis/Details

Lange is getting terrible headaches, so he goes to see his eye doctor. His regular doctor is on vacation but his assistant, Dr. Holland, is available. She administers some eye drops to dilate his pupils. Lange starts feeling odd. He becomes unable to move any of his limbs. He learns to his horror that Holland is the big sister of a girl he impregnated and left in the past. This girl later killed herself. Holland is out for revenge, but not before she completes the exam. She insists that Lange read the first three lines of the eye chart. They spell out "you - are - dead." She fires two bullets into her patient. Pleased at his death, she concludes, "An eye for an eye."
