She is now married to the snobbish and selfish Tom Buchanen, who flaunts an extramarital affair he is having with the proletarian wife of a local garage owner. Nick consents to arrange a meeting with Gatsby and Daisy, a rendezvous that will have tragic consequences.

This television adaptation was written by John J. McLaughlin (The Black Swan) and produced by Tom Thayer (Hitchcock).
