Synopsis: | Julian French an up and coming novelist is having an affair with Sara, the woman who types his scripts. She proposes that she murders his wife so that they can be together. Horrified he tells her that he is not interested. She slips a potion in his drink. Once he has drunk it he collapses unconscious. Sara takes the empty glass away with her. Next day when he wakes up the police have arrived. Sara has been found dead at her home and there is evidence that Julian was there. Vicki, Julian's wife was out all that night staying at a friend's house. She receives a tape from Sara. On the tape Sara confesses that she set up the whole thing but in fact had committed suicide. Sara plays the tape to the police but unfortunately had erased the confession. Julian is arrested and taken away. Vicki gets the real tape recording and plays it. Sara says that she set the whole thing up because Julian had been responsible for the death of her daughter and that if she - Vicki - wanted to be rid of Julian to destroy the tape. Vicki does and then telephones the friend she stayed with and tells him she is on her way over. | |||||
