The story
An American pulp novelist, Mark Kendrick, meets his rich neighbours across the lake and is soon seduced by beautiful blonde Carol, the wife of Mr. Beverly Forrest, despite Beverly treating him as a friend. When Beverly is knocked unconscious by a fall on his boat, Carol fails to persuade Mark to throw him overboard, so Carol does it herself, drowning him.
