The protagonist Larry (Robert Young) has been cheating on his wife, engaging in a secret affair with his lover Janice (Susan Hayward). Larry longs to elope with Janice, but his plans are thwarted by his wife's unbelievable actions. She cleverly forces Larry to stay in the marriage by purchasing a stake in a company. Larry encounters the beautiful and charming Vena at the new company, and they quickly fall in love, complicating Larry's emotional entanglements further. Larry's wife takes drastic action by buying a remote mountain farm, attempting to isolate him, which only complicates Larry's marital issues. In the end, Larry and Vena decide to elope, but fate has laid a tragic path for them. A sudden car accident leads to Vena's death in a horrific fire, while Larry escapes unharmed. To deceive his wife for money, Larry mistakenly identifies Vena's body as his wife, a decision that plunges him into the moral abyss he has dug for himself.
