- Eunice Rice is in dire financial straits, a recent widow of an unhappy marriage, who is being blackmailed by an unknown stranger.
- Stuart is hired by reclusive and mysterious twenty-eight year old Eunice Rice, who has just completed the one year mourning in almost total solitude of her much older husband, Colton Rice, the mourning despite his abusive nature, she believing it just the proper thing to do. Among the many unusual aspects is that she wants him to take the job on credit as she, penniless, will come into money once she sells what is the Rice Estate - a mansion and its vast property - which Colton brought into the marriage.
