Their deepening friendship, though physically innocent, is discovered by Philip's wife (Rosalind Ivan). Her constant henpecking and discovery of Philip’s wandering affection drive him to kill. A ruthless blackmailer (Henry Daniell) and a low-key detective (Stanley Ridges) both discover Philip's secret, and he has to decide which of them poses the more dangerous threat. "Without mincing words, Arthur T.
