A newlywed couple move into the former residence of an heiress who was murdered 20 years earlier. Rumours persist of a priceless stash of rubies hidden within the house and, when an ex-policeman recognises the husband as a relative of the murdered woman, he suspects the man has returned to claim the missing loot. Thriller, starring Anton Walbrook, Diana Wynyard, Frank Pettingell and Cathleen Cordell.

Twenty years removed from Alice Barlow's murder by a thief looking for her jewels, newlyweds Paul and Bella Mallen move into the very house where the crime was committed. Retired detective B.G. Rough, who worked on the Barlow case, is still in the area and grows suspicious of Paul, who he feels bears a striking resemblance to one of Barlow's relatives. Rough must find the truth before the killer can strike again and reclaim his bounty.
