JOAN Bennett's husband is away on business when her daughters lover is killed in a dispute. Protecting her family she buries the body only to find herself blackmailed by some small-time crooks, one of whom (Mason) takes a shine to her. Another European take on the noir genre from Ophuls looking appropriately dramatic with the help of cinematographer Burnett Guffey
