On a trip to Europe, her prize in a "fixed" beauty contest, Kathy Allen (Arlene Dahl) meets advertising man Tim O'Bannion (Philip Carey), who is attracted by her beauty but repelled by her ruthlessness towards men.
In London, she ruins the career of photographer Larry Buckham (Michael Goodliffe) and compromises Tim's boss Stephen Collins (Herbert Marshall). About to steal Collins from his wife, Kathy learns that the wife's father, elderly John Dowling (Ralph Truman), owns the world-wide advertising agency, so she marries him. Later she accidentally kills him when she mistakes him for a prowler, but she is found guilty of murder and sentenced to die. Will this innocent gold-digger be executed? ~ imdb |
