On trial for murder, philandering stockbroker Larry Ballentine takes the stand to claim his innocence and describe an improbable sequence of events that led to his girlfriend's death, weaving a tale of temptation, guilt, and deception as he recounts how he abandoned Janice Bell, fell for gold-digger Verna Carlson, and ultimately killed her. A gripping drama with fine performances by Robert Young and Susan Hayward, this 1947 film noir masterfully explores the complexities of human nature.
