'For years George Mason had been waiting for a man to die—waiting for an inheritance. George knew that his Uncle Bert intended leaving him all his money, and, much as he disliked his Uncle Bert, George was content to play the dutiful nephew and to wait patiently for the fifty thousand dollars. But one thing worried George—according to Californian laws, all moneys accumulated or earned after marriage belong equally to man and wife, and George didn't want to share his fifty thousand dollars with anyone, least of all his wife, Lois. So he set about persuading Lois to divorce him. But things didn't turn out as George expected. He suddenly found that he had to act quickly, and he found himself contemplating murder!'
