Indecent Proposal; a Love Boat Episode Rip Off?
There is an Episode of the Love Boat, and one of the plot lines was, "Your Money Or Your Wife". A few different twists and turns, and typical Aaron Spelling Love Boat schlock but the plot is essentially a husband being offered forgiveness of a $20,000 debt if he agrees to have his wife go on a 'date' with the man offering it. (There is even a casino scene).
Seems a pretty blatant redo/rip-off. There may be other instances as well of the same plot, but this one seems pretty relevant.
Look back further. This is not a new story. There are no new stories.
There are only basically two stories:
A person goes on a trip
A stranger appears.
And that's the same story with different pov.
dudes wanting to sleep with other dudes' wives is a tale as old as time.
