In the film, a broker convinces his own girlfriend to marry the biggest client of their firm, and to convince her new husband to entrust his entire fortune to him. The plan apparently backfires, when the broker is first framed for embezzlement and then targeted for murder. Meanwhile, the new bride learns that her husband has a Bluebeard-like habit of ending all his marriages through uxoricide.
