## Description

Stuart Howell is a promoter with a million-dollar proposition on the line. Jean McVeigh is young, wealthy and lonely. Very lonely. With Jean's self-loathing making her prone to suicide attempts, Stuart sees a neat way to make a lot of money. After a whirlwind courtship, they marry, and Jean is at first ecstatic to have landed herself such a catch. Jean starts to doubt Stuart's real intentions - doubt that goes into overdrive as he tests her accident-proneness on a balcony and forges her signature on a $100,000 note. And when confronted, exposed and humiliated, Stuart becomes a more desperate, and deadly, opponent. But Jean starts to wise up to his treachery . . .
