After learning that his wife Margot had a brief affair with mystery writer Mark Halliday, Tony Wendice decides he’s going to kill her. He wants to provide himself with an ironclad alibi and so blackmail a one-time schoolmate with a shady past, Charles Swann, to do the killing for him. The plan is simple. He will give Swann a key to their flat and while he and Halliday are out at a dinner, Swan can let himself into the flat and strangle her. It all goes as planned but Margot successfully defends herself, killing Swan in the process. She is convicted of his murder – Tony had planted evidence to suggest that he had been blackmailing her – and soon finds herself in prison awaiting execution on the gallows. It’s left to Mark Halliday and a sympathetic policeman, Chief Inspector Hubbard, to uncover Wendice’s plan and get the evidence to arrest him.
