Olivia de Havilland plays identical twins, one of which is suspected of murder. The police are frustrated by their mutual alibis and the prospect of a "perfect murder". They hire a psychologist who specializes in twin studies, who soon discovers which of the two is capable of murder. He falls in love with the other one, and they set a trap to get her to confess. Gimmicky murder mystery, with Lew Ayres too old for his role as the psychiatrist who falls in love with the "good" de Havilland.
