'Romantic melodrama of an unfaithful wife who thinks she has killed her lover. He is only stunned and, suffering from amnesia, consults her psychiatrist husband.'

Notes

Said to be based on a short story by Alec Coppel called 'Laughs with a Stranger', but this publication has not yet been traced.
Some sources limit Coppel's involvement to the short story that seemingly inspired the plot, and list John Lee Mahin as the sole script-writer. The theatrical posters produced for the film's release, however, credit both Coppel and Mahin as script-writers.
