'Habeas Corpses' by William Rabkin and Lee Goldberg

When Randi blows up at Skip’s latest choice of guest for Ian’s show (a blonde bimbo ‘mermaid’ called Tiffany) Ian calms her down by unveiling their new house on Venice Beach; unfortunately, the moment is spoilt by the arrival of a terrified man called Marty Colfax, who babbles about his wife being a vampire and then falls dead to the floor. Deciding to investigate, Ian and Randi pay a visit to Marty’s widow, but end up staking her with a ‘For Sale’ sign when she reveals her fangs and attacks them. Posing as a troubled wife, Randi approaches Karen’s lover, charismatic lawyer Allan Decker, and engages his services in arranging a divorce from her ‘adulterous husband’, Ian. However, when Ian’s lawyer, Nancy Chambers, trumps the case with a pre-nuptial agreement sneakily obtained during Randi’s last transformation, the defeated Decker is furious; he offers the now ‘destitute’ Randi a job as his secretary, and then hypnotises Nancy into throwing Ian’s case. Spying on Allan, Randi discovers that her boss and the rest of the blood-sucking lawyers are really blood-sucking vampires, their pallid faces covered with wax to protect themselves from the harmful effects of the sun. Meanwhile, Ian receives a visit at home from Nancy – now transformed into a fully-fanged vampire and hungry for her client’s blood…
