- When Leonard Vole is accused of murdering society lady Emily French, his solicitor Mayhew clings to the hope that Leonard's wife Romaine will provide the alibi that can save his life.
- Socialite Emily French lives hedonistic life pursuing male company. Seeing hunky commoner Leonard Vole being fired on the spot from his waiter job at a fancy club for a tripping he couldn't help, she asks him for a ride home, then admits it was just a polite ploy to get him home and offers him $5 for naughty games, notably bathing in her tub with her shamelessly lusting at the sight. In the morning, the suspiciously devoted and possessive maid -whose grim hints to leave he had ignored- calls the police to her bloody corpse and screams only Vole could have killed her. The police brutally beats and drags the 'swine' to rot in a cell until the court is expected to convict him as the press demands. Tack attorney John Mayhew offers his services as legal defense, which he can hardly afford, and is told Leonard's 'wife', well unmarried steady partner, can provide an alibi, but she's an exotic cabaret dancer.—KGF Vissers
- 1920s London. A murder, brutal and bloodthirsty, has stained the plush carpets of a handsome London townhouse. The victim is the beautiful widow Emily French. All evidence points to Leonard, a dashing young chancer who seduced the older woman into leaving him her vast fortune before ruthlessly taking her life. At least, this is the story that Emily's distraught, devoted housekeeper Janet stands by in court.—yusufpiskin
