Another Tod Slaughter melodrama with a script awfully similar to Murder in the Red Barn a few years earlier. Slaughter is again an English aristocrat, at least pretends to be, after assuming the identity of a murdered companion. He falls in love with a much younger girl who happens to be very wealthy. Meanwhile he gets a house servant pregnant and kills her in the boat house. He is being blackmailed by a local doctor who figures out all of his secrets. More murders follow and he has his wife committed to a mental institution. His lust and greed get him into more trouble and ultimately lead to his downfall.
