Best known for starring in the classic sitcoms "Private Secretary" and "The Ann Sothern Show", Sothern delivers a dynamic dramatic performance in this suspenseful thriller. Ann plays a woman who discovers that her sister is having an affair with her husband-to-be. Sothern confronts the sister, accidentally kills her, then flees the scene, allowing her brother-in-law to take the rap. The plot thickens, however, when it is discovered that Sothern's traumatized young niece witnessed the dreadful event, and the child is starting to regain her memory. The supporting cast also impresses, but this is Ann's vehicle all the way, and, as usual, she is magnificent.
