The film opens in a courtroom jury room where the jury is discussing the fate of Elizabeth Sellars. Sellars is on trial for murdering her husband. She is found not guilty and the film slips into a series of flashbacks. The first flashbacks begins two years before the court case. Sellar's husband, Michael Gough, is a pilot who is missing and presumed death in a air crash in the Amazon rain forest. After a while she falls in love with the family doctor who is played by Ronald Howard. All is well and great for the two when they get news that Gough has been found. Howard of course being a proper Englishman steps aside. Gough returns but he seems less than all right in the head. He sits in a darkened room and drinks during the day but slips out after dark. To do what? One day a local man is beaten on the moor and the clues lead back to Gough. It seems that Gough suffers from nightmares about killing people in-order to survive in the jungle. Sellars decides to poison him. This film is as bad as it sounds. Though it feels like 90 mins it only has a run time of 61.
