There is something Hitchcockian about this story as it deals with multiple personalities.
Helen Reed is a seemingly normal woman who is going through a messy divorce from her wealthy husband. Especially regarding custody of their son. Her husband calls Helen an unfit mother. Helen's brother threatens her husband.
When her husband is found dead, Helen's bag contained the gun used to kill him.
However there is another woman of interest. Joyce Martel who is a floozie and she is seeing a low rent gangster who is a bit of a shark.
Perry discovers that Helen and Joyce are the same woman with different personalities. Helen is allergic to furs but not Joyce.
There are some psychological tricks pulled by Perry such as bringing out Helen's dual personality in the witness box. However I thought the denouement was weak with the whole story being mumbo jumbo.
Murray Hamilton plays the gangster and Denver Pyle plays Helen's concerned brother.
