The story
Ex-dancer Doris Stevens kills a moneylender who is pressing her for settlement of her debt and threatening to tell her respectable businessman husband. Chris Jensen, who also owes money (for a ring he gave to his fiancée, who ran off with it) sees her there but does not report her. After she leaves, he burns pages from the moneylender's ledger which listed his debt.
