  Beginning with the trial and then through flashbacks, this film dramatizes the story of a notorious murder case in which American-born, but living in London, Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen (Donald Pleasence) killed his wife (Coral Browne), dismembered her body, and buried it in his coal cellar. He was arrested while sailing to Canada with his mistress (Samantha Eggar) and returned to London for his trial and sentencing–all the while protesting his innocence.
