Turn-of-the-century New Orleans socialite Ava Gardner is jilted by her lover, university professor Robert Mitchum, and spends the rest of the movie trying to win him back. She pays her "cousin" to make Mitchum's wife fall in love with him, and since he's got money to burn it works. However, he accidentally kills her at one of their nightly trysts, leading to a trial where the truth finally comes out. Lurid melodrama enlivened only by the presence of the 29-year-old Ava near the prime of her beauty.
