synopsis
Cliff of Sin was originally released in Italy as La Scogliera del Peccato. Margaret Genske plays Stella, the wayward wife of misanthropic millionaire Silvano (Gino Cervi). Hoping to enjoy his money without enduring his company, Stella murders Silvano with poison. To further replenish her coffers, she inveigles fisherman Paolo (Ermanno Randi) into a smuggling racket. When Paolo's brother Michele (Otello Toso) shows up to save the younger man from a life of crime, Michele too is entrapped in Stella's web. Evidently, only an act of God can prevent Stella from further misdeeds--and that's just what does stop her.
