Beautiful Stella Bergen marries Phillip Monrell, the son of her wealthy employer, not realizing he's a dangerous psychopath. Bent on destroying his best friend Ward Andrews, whom he feels is trying to steal his wife, Phillip devises an elaborate plot to frame Ward for his murder. Ingrid Bergman is lovely to look at in this early role and the casting of George Sanders as the good guy is interesting, however, the plot is far-fetched and the second half of the film is rushed and disconnected. Unlike Montgomery's previous psychopathic character, 'Danny' in Night Must Fall, his role in this film is underdeveloped and distinctly one-dimensional. Despite the faults in the material, all cast members deliver competent performances.
