On a ship bound for England from the West Indies, Olivia Harwood (Ann Todd) – a missionary’s widow – meets the mysterious Mark Bellis (Ray Milland) while nursing him back to health from malaria. Upon arriving in Liverpool, Olivia is persuaded by Mark to let him live with her in the boarding house she inherited. Over time, it’s revealed that Mark is a con man whose previous escapades as an art thief and forger have come up empty; when Olivia is hired as a live in companion to her former schoolfriend Susan Courtney (Geraldine Fitzgerald), Mark persuades her into stealing the stocks and bonds from the household. However, it’s when a bundle of letters containing Susan’s admissions of romantic interludes outside of her marriage amid other morally questionable behavior is when Olivia is dragged further into a deepening web of blackmail, betrayal, and eventually murder.
