A man is brought down by a strong woman and his own weakness in this drama. Dr. Richard Talbot (Kent Smith), trapped in a loveless marriage with his wife Lucy (Rosemary DeCamp), becomes involved with Nora Prentiss (Ann Sheridan), a chanteuse. Afraid to divorce his wife, Richard wishes that he could join Nora as she travels to New York for a nightclub engagement. He thinks that he sees a way out of his marriage when his partner dies unexpectedly. Richard quickly decides to fake his own death and assume the identity of his late partner, leaving him "dead" in Lucy's eyes and free to do as he pleases. However, Richard soon discovers that Nora is a treacherous woman who is not saving her affections just for him; he also finds himself in the dangerous position of being investigated as a suspect in his own murder. Nora Prentiss boasts outstanding camera work from one of Hollywood's leading camera men, James Wong Howe.
