On a foggy night, author O. Henry (Thomas Mitchell) relates to a policeman his latest story about a man with an incurable disease who has given up on living. Carter (DeForest Kelley) travels to Texas where he meets an equally disillusioned young woman Rosa (Jean Cooper) who works as a "hostess" in a San Antonio saloon. They learn about each other's personal struggles and begin to fall in love.

"The O. Henry Playhouse" is a 1957 single season, 39-episode TV series. O. Henry (William Sydney Porter) is considered one of America's greatest writers of short stories. His writings are laced with humor and irony and often end with a sly twist ending. Veteran character actor Thomas Mitchell stars in each episode as writer O. Henry himself as he relates his stories to his publisher, his housekeeper, a barber, a bartender, or the cop on the beat. In some episodes, O. Henry meets his characters as he discovers firsthand the story he will later write. This unique storytelling method gives great insight into the famous author's creative process.
