Painter Humphrey Bogart falls in love with his young model Barbara Stanwyck while on vacation in the country. He forgets to tell her about his wife and daughter, but she dies so it doesn't matter anyway. They marry and years pass, but when Bogie falls for a rich socialite the pattern seems to repeat. Barbara figures out that Bogie is actually a psychopathic killer, leading to a dramatic confrontation. Bogie's wide-eyed portrayal of a killer is never convincing, and Stanwyck's accent mysteriously disappears after the first few scenes, but it is entertaining, if derivative of Hitchcock.
