After spending many evenings with a rich old woman, a young man becomes the chief suspect in her murder. The stage is set for a twist-filled trial when the prosecution calls a surprise witness... the defendant's wife.

The Daily Mirror raves that it "packs plenty of surprise in its cargo of suspense."
