A man named Philandering Harlan (William Lundigan), is accused of killing his wealthy wife, Gloria (Constance Moore).

His wife, Lucy (Gail Patrick), is a successful lawyer and they have been married for several years but their relationship has hit the rocks.

Meanwhile, the case against Philandering Harlan is progressing slowly. Stowell is convinced that Harlan is guilty but lacks the evidence to prove it. He enlists the help of a young, aspiring lawyer, Kathryn Courtland (June Storey), to assist him with the case.

They discover that Gloria Harlan was not as loyal as she appeared, and had a lover, Harry Palmer (Leonard Carey), who is also a suspect in the case. They also learn that Philandering Harlan had a motive to kill his wife, as he stood to inherit a large sum of money from her.
