A história do diretor Robert Aldrich é um thriller sobre uma veterana atriz de teatro que conheceu a fama na infância e agora inicia um reinado psicótico de terror sobre sua irmã, ex-rainha do cinema nos anos 30 e hoje presa a uma cadeira de rodas.

David gives his wife, Joyce, an unexpected—and unpleasant—surprise when he suddenly demands a divorce. When she then learns that David has taken up with a younger woman, Joyce decides to make the most of this separation by taking a solo trip to the Caribbean. However, just before diving into a vacation fling, she runs into Emily, an old chum whose own divorce has left her embittered. Joyce then debates giving married life one last chance.
