The story
Business tycoon James Rainsford is found by his junior partner, Roy Matherson, with his throat cut. Assuming it was suicide, and because he wishes to spare the feelings of Shirley, Rainsford's daughter, with whom he is love, Matherson fakes the scene to make it look like a murder. It turns out that it is actually murder, and Matherson is charged.
