Richard Basehart is a mild-mannered pharmacist with wildcat Audrey Totter for a wife. She walks out of his drug store with other men right in front of him. One day she leaves him for a rich beach hunk. He adopts another personality and plans the perfect crime. He chickens out at the last minute, but when the man ends up murdered anyway he becomes the prime suspect. The police are nonchalant, one of them even starts up an affair with his wife as well, but perceptive with plenty of tricks up their sleeve. Totter plays her role to the hilt and she's almost too campy at times. There are plenty of plot twists to keep it interesting.
