Sponsored by The Protestant Film Commission, this religiously-affiliated tale centers around citizen Henry Wood (played by Oscar winner James Dunn from "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"), who loved family and church, gave to the needy, and donated most of his money to charity. Now deceased, his somewhat neglected daughter reflects on his past and ponders that age-old question, did he indeed have such "a wonderful life"?

Madame Gauthier
Adaptação do best-seller de Rachel Field. Bette Davis é a professora Henriette, que relembra sua história em flashbacks, trazendo à tona o tempo em que trabalhava como governanta do Duque de Praslin. Dominada por um ciúme doentio, a duquesa acusou Henriette de manter um caso com o duque. A governanta achou melhor deixar o emprego ao invés de criar confusão, mesmo com a promessa não cumprida da duquesa em escrever uma carta de referências. Logo depois, porém, a duquesa foi encontrada morta.
