Alejandro Rey catches his wife in bed with a friend and murders him in a jealous rage. He buries the body and ditches the car, but the police don't believe his weak alibi. Later, he accuses his best friend and business partner, Larry Linville in a pre-MASH role, of having an affair with his wife and pushes him off the top of a building. A few weeks later he's starting his own affair with his friend's widow, while his teenage son is sleeping with his own wife. The police finally get some evidence, but instead of a confession it leads to tragedy. Despite the low budget and lurid plot, this tale of southern California friends managed to hold my attention.
