Bogie is married to Rose Hobart, but he is in love with her younger sister, Alexis Smith. Hobart knows this and throw it up to him. As the three of them are on the way home from their fifth anniversary party, they have a head-on collision and Bogie breaks his leg. The women are OK.
Bogie pretends his leg is bad after it is healed. They plan a trip to a mountain resort, but Bogie begs off because of work.She is blocked on a narrow deserted mountain road by a parked car. A man appears partly-hidden by the fog. It is Bogie. He calls her name, walks toward her, shoots her and then drives her car off the cliff. Back at home, his business associates find him as "usual," and as he calls the resort to check on his wife. Finally he reports her absence to the police.
Bogie, Smith and Greenstreet leave for a vacation to get away from the pressure. Charles Drake, a young professor, pops the question, but she turns him down. Then Bogie and Smith have an argument about whether or not she loves him. Bogie continues to hound the police force for action, to remove any suspicion from himself. Hobart had pawned her locket, and he tries to get it from the pawn shop, but the law will not allow it. He think he sees his wife still alive on the street. He goes to Greenstreet (a psychologist) to talk to him about it and is told the doctor has seen only one case like his - a man who murdered his wife. Bogart leaves and drives the the place where his wife was killed. She is not there, but Greenstreet and the police are. Greenstreet tells him where he made his slip-up.
