Ronnie Mason (Zachary Scott) is a smooth talking con man and possibly a murderer. His victim's husband Thomas Turner is obsessed to find the perpetrator but the police is inclined to drop the case and classify it as a suicide. Ronnie is on the run and rents a room from the Fenchurch women. He tries to sweet talk older sister Hilda until he discovers that the younger sister Anne is in line for a large inheritance.
There are elements that I deem unrealistic. I'm not sure the sisters should be so friendly together. Anne falling for Ronnie would make more sense if there is a sibling rivalry between the sisters. There are turns that I like a lot. Getting Anne to write the suicide note is terrific. The poisoning idea is perfect. I don't think the high speed driving is right. There has to be a more poetic ending. I find out after watching the movie that the ending was changed due to the production code. I can see the better unmade movie in my mind.
