When a beautiful–but psychotic–rich woman, Diane (Jean Simmons), plots to kill her stepmother Catherine (Barbara O'Neil), ambulance driver Frank (Robert Mitchum) unwittingly becomes involved in the crime.

Frank and Diane are now charged with murder. In an effort to sway the jury, Diane's lawyer (Leon Ames) suggests Diane and Frank marry, they do, and are acquitted. After being freed, Frank realizes that he cannot be married to a murderess and tells Diane that he is leaving her.
