Synopsis:

Larry Ballentine's witness-stand testimony in the trial for the murder of his girlfriend Verna Carlson, recollects the events that lead up to his current predicament. Larry has been cheating on his rich wife Gretta for some time, first with magazine writer Janice Bell and then with Verna. Although Gretta is aware of Larry's infidelities, Gretta cannot manage to leave him. Instead she she uses her money to hold on to him. She sabotages his attempt to run off with Janice by buying him a partnership in a brokerage firm. Then, when she discovers his plan to flee with Verna, she sells her interest, leaving Larry unemployed and penniless. But when the lovers decide to run off anyway, Larry's life suddenly becomes even more complicated than it already is.

Larry Ballentine is a philanderer who is on trial for the murder of his wife Greta. On the stand, he recounts that he had been married for about 5 years when he had decided to run off to Montreal with Janice Bell, someone he had been spending his Saturdays with for several months. His wife is aware of his assignations and convinces him to go to California with her. He stayed on the straight and narrow for a good 6 months but then took up with a co-worker, Verna Carlson. They too plan on running off together but two deaths and a lie to the police land Ballentine in his current circumstance. Having told the entire story to the jury, their verdict is all that remains.

On trial for murder, Larry Ballantyne regurgitates an unbelievable story. He recounts how he philanders to other women while his rich loving wife Gretta tries to keep him in line. According to Larry, his girlfriend Verna dies accidentally in a car crash and his distraught wife tosses herself over a cliff after he runs out on her. The jury has a tough decision on this one.
