Sir Wheeley (Charles Lawton Charles Laughton), a famous criminal defense lawyer in London, has been treated for a heart attack, but he is still weak. On his first day home to recuperate, the nurse has been strictly supervising him to take medicine and put an end to alcohol and tobacco. The housekeeper specially repaired the elevator for him to make it easier to go upstairs. However, all kinds of care and care had no effect on the recalcitrant and sharp-tongued barrister at all. on the contrary, it was a complaint that excited him. Lawyer Mayhew and client Wall (Tyrone Bauer Tyrone Power) come to visit and ask him to come out to fight a lawsuit. It turned out that Wall met the rich woman and they were very happy with each other. Although the servant was full of disdain for the egg beater he invented, the rich woman loved him so much that she even changed his will and left him 80,000 pounds. However, the rich woman was killed. As a result, Wall became the police's prime suspect. His only witness is his wife Kristen (Marlene Dietrich Marlene Dietrich), but the indifference and calmness of the latter makes Sir Whitey suspect there is something else going on. Behind the complicated and confusing cases, they are closely linked one by one.
