Synopsis:
One evening an engineer, Scott Henderson, mourning over his broken marriage,
starts a conversation with a mysterious woman. She is elegantly dressed, with an
ornate hat. She seems even sadder and more lost than Henderson. So, he invites
her to a dance show, and she gladly accepts. After the show they part without
even saying their names. When he returns to his apartment, Henderson finds three
detectives. His wife has been strangled. Inspector Burgess starts the
interrogation in order to establish the husband’s firm alibi. However, it seems
that no one, not even Henderson himself, can confirm his alibi: he spent the
night with a mysterious lady.
