Other
O roteirista Dixon Steele (Humphrey Bogart) é conhecido por ter um temperamento bem explosivo, o que dificulta um pouco sua carreira. Steele tem a chance de recomeçar roteirizando um livro de grande sucesso, mas como não quer ler o livro convida para ir na sua casa a funcionária da chapelaria Mildred Atkinson (Martha Stewart), para lhe contar a história com suas próprias palavras. Um pouco depois da meia-noite ele diz para Mildred que está cansado, agradece a colaboração, dá a ela o dinheiro do táxi e se despedem. Mas naquela mesma noite ela é morta e Steele é o principal suspeito. Seus antecedentes de comportamento violento e seu macabro senso de humor acabam por complicá-lo ainda mais. Para sua sorte Laurel Gray (Gloria Grahame), sua amável vizinha, lhe proporciona um álibi. Laurel era exatamente o que Steele precisava e a amizade deles rapidamente se transforma em amor, mas talvez as desconfianças, dúvidas e demônios internos de Dixon atrapalhem essa relação.
