Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A prominent neurosurgeon relates to his students in medical school a story about an affair he had with a married woman and how, after the affair was over, the woman one day fell out a window and died. The surgeon, suspecting that she was murdered, set out to find her killer--but, instead of turning the suspect over to the police, he planned to take his own revenge on the murderer.

| Trivia | Pamela Kellino, who played Kate Howard, was credited under her previous married name. Her name at this time was Pamela Mason as she was the then-wife of James Mason. They had met on the set of "Troubled Waters" (1935), and her husband, Roy Kellino, was the cinematographer on that film. The three became close friends, and Mason moved in with the couple. The Kellinos were divorced in 1940 with Mason named as co-respondent. Mason and Kellino were married in 1941. See more » |

| Quotes |
Dr. Farrell:
The vessel which we normal people use for imbibing experience is a stout austerity model, which doesn't crack. With others, like yourself, the glass, though of superior design, cracks quite easily. Now, instead of leaving it upturned on the shelf, a danger to all, it should be thrown away. See more » |
