1947 · 97 min · ★ 5.3 · Dir. John H. Auer

"I'D BE A FOOL TO LET LOVE STAND IN MY WAY!"

George McAllister (John Carroll), the black sheep of a wealthy family who has squandered his share of the family inheritance, lives in constant jealousy, hatred and resentment of his half-brother Barry (Robert Paige), who has been supporting him. George gets his girlfriend, Carlotta Duval (Vera Ralston), a job as Barry's nurse, with the idea being to marry him, kill him, and inherit his money—and marrying George. But instead of going ahead with the original plan, she finds that she is really in love with Barry.
