Charles Hilary wants a divorce from his alcoholic wife Louise so he can marry television personality Kathy Forrester, but Louise refuses. When Louise is found murdered, the circumstantial evidence points to Charles, who is arrested and convicted. Convinced that Charles is innocent, Kathy enlists the help of retired Police Commissioner Sir John Fawcett to investigate the case. They find the real murderer and Charles is released.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A routine but economic "B" thriller, this is straightforward both in plot and style. Ursula Howells, as usual these days, portrays an unsympathetic character, who is murdered ten minutes after the opening."[3]
