On a trip to Europe, her prize in a "fixed" beauty contest, Kathy Allen (
Arlene Dahl) meet advertising man Tim O'Bannion (
Philip Carey), who is attracted by her beauty but repelled by her ruthlessness towards men. In London, she ruins the career of photographer Larry Buckham (
Michael Goodliffe) and compromises Tim's boss, Stephen Collins (
Herbert Marshall). About to steal Collins from his wife, Kathy learns that the wife's father, the elderly John Dowling (
Ralph Truman) owns the world-wide advertising agency, so she marries him and, later, accidentally kills him, mistaking him for a prowler. But she is found guilty of murder and sentenced to die. Will this innocent gold-digger be executed?
