Overcome with paranoia (as well as a weak heart) George thinks Ellen is having an affair with Doctor Grahame (Bruce Cowling) and slowly poisoning him. Finally George gets a gun to kill Ellen but keels over dead. But the nightmare has only just begun for Ellen. George had written a letter to the DA detailing his paranoid fears. Now with a dead George who will believe it was a delusion. Ellen must get that letter back!
So its a film about trying to get a letter back, but also so much more. In flashbacks we learn more about George's character and it isn't good. Ellen also makes herself more suspicious and guilty the more desperate she becomes... A simple but well made little piece of domestic noir. The plot stretches credulity a bit though.
