Frank Partridge (Sidney Blackmer) and Mildred Partridge (Virginia Gregg) are an old married couple in a financial bind.
They do not have enough money to pay the rent after Frank has landed a new job but it will not start for another month.
Frank ponders that they would be better off if one of them died. The other one will get $25,000 in life insurance money.
They hatch a plan for Mildred to go away for a long time. Frank pretends that his wife has disappeared and she can be declared dead after seven years.
Only Mr Kettle from the insurance company believes that Frank has killed his wife.
Can Frank survive for seven years? In the meantime what sort of life his wife is living in another city?
An interesting story that is full of plotholes. If Mr Kettle believed that Frank is a killer, he should had got the police involved.
Also how did the couple manage to survive financially, when the whole issue was that they had immediate money problems.
