A woman has died while she was with John Horsley. It turns out to have been strychnine poisoning, and Horsley is a chemist who keeps it at his home. When another woman dies the same way, the womanizing Horsley looks headed for the hangman's noose... but his fiancee, Rona Anderson doesn't believe it. She begins to investigate on her own when the local constabulary refuses to ask for Scotland Yard's help.
