Anne Baxter, recently released from psychiatric care, moves in with her fiance's family. She falls in love with his brother Ralph Bellamy, an artist. Bellamy spends most of his time locked in his studio upstairs with a pretty model, whom Baxter plots to get rid of by spreading rumors. It works, and next she sets her sights on Bellamy's wife. A psychological melodrama in the vein of Hitchcock's Rebecca released only a few years earlier, complete with shocking final scene. Entertaining to be sure, but lacks the master's touch.
