Gene Barry & Nancy Gates carry a very solid episode. Early on in the show, we find out Nancys character has rated out Barry's brother to the police. Naturally the brother is dead as a result. Then Barry gets out of prison. Is he going to go for immediate revenge? Nope, instead he tries to make Nancy as happy as she can possibly be. He helps her set up a successful business. He does everything he can to make her happy. He even finds the man she is in love with & sends him after her. Then, when she is at the apex of her life, when everything is where she has everything to live for, he pulls out a gun and shoots her.
The story here was worked on by Fred Friedberger who later would work with Gene Roddenbury on STAR TREK. I am sure that is a piece of why it is well done.
