Hi there!
Two on a Guillotine (1965) is freely adapted from Henry Slesar's short story Legacy of Terror (Amazing Science Fiction Stories, 1958). The short story has some fantasy-science fiction elements (giant insects) which do not appear in the film.
But the main plot /storyline of the short story has many unmistakable similarities with Two on a Guillotine.
The characters played by Connie Stevens and Dean Jones in the movie are almost identical to the main characters in Legacy of Terror.
There was another case of a Henry Slesar short story freely adapted to the screen: "Bottle Baby", turned into Terror from the Year 5000 (1958, Robert J. Gurney Jr.)
Legacy of Terror was reprinted in the horror anthology Satan's Pets, edited by Vic Ghidalia (Manor Books, 1972)
