Sir Wilfrid Robarts (Charles Laughton), a master lawyer in sick wellness, takes on Leonard Vole (Tyrone Electrical power) as a customer, despite the objections of his exclusive registered nurse, Miss Plimsoll (Elsa Lanchester), that states the doctor advises him versus tackling any kind of criminal cases. Vole is implicated of killing Mrs. Emily French (Norma Varden), a rich, older widow that had actually become rapt of him, presuming regarding make him the primary beneficiary of her will. Solid inconclusive evidence points to Vole as the deadly, however Sir Wilfrid believes Vole is innocent.
When Sir Wilfrid speaks with Vole's German spouse Christine (Marlene Dietrich), he discovers her rather cold and self-possessed, but she does supply an alibi. For that reason, he is greatly shocked when she is called as a witness for the prosecution. While a spouse could not affirm versus her spouse, Christine remained in truth still married to a German man when she wed Leonard (who remained in the Army and part of the profession pressures in Germany). She affirms that Leonard confessed to her that he had eliminated Mrs. French, which her principles forced her to finally level.
During the trial in the Old Bailey, Sir Wilfrid is called by a mystical woman that, for a fee, provides him with letters composed by Christine herself to a mystical enthusiast named Max. The event disclosed by this correspondence gives Christine such a solid objective to have lied that the jury locates Leonard blameless.
Nonetheless, Sir Wilfrid is troubled by the decision. His impulses tell him that it was "... as well neat, too tidy, as well as entirely ... also balanced!" His belief proves proper when Christine, laid off with him by chance in the court, seizes the day to take credit rating for the decision. Sir Wilfrid had informed her before the test that "... no court would think an alibi provided by a loving better half". So, she had actually rather offered testimony implicating her partner, had then created the letters to the non-existing Max, as well as had herself in disguise played the mysterious female handing over the letters which then challenged her own testament as well as brought about the acquittal. She moreover admits that she saved Leonard even though she knew he was responsible because she likes him.
Leonard has overheard Christine's admission as well as, currently shielded by dual risk, happily verifies to Sir Wilfred that he had indeed killed Mrs. French. Sir Wilfrid is irritated at being had. Leonard then coldly tells Christine that he has actually met a more youthful female (Ruta Lee) and also is leaving Christine. In a jealous craze, Christine gets hold of a blade, which had earlier been made use of as evidence by the defense (and discreetly highlighted by Sir Wilfrid), as well as stabs Leonard to death. After she is taken away by the police, Sir Wilfrid, urged on by Miss Plimsoll, proclaims that he will tackle Christine's defense.
