Tony Wendice has married his wife, Margot, for her money and now plans to murder her for the same reason. He arranges the perfect murder. He blackmails an old acquaintance to kill his wife and arranges a brilliant alibi for himself. Unfortunately...the murderer gets murdered and the victim survives. Tony jumps on the opportunity to have his wife convicted for the murder and sentenced to death. It is up to a young man who is in love with Margot and an inspector from Scotland Yard to discover the truth before it is too late.
