Synopsis
A man persuades his lover, a nurse, to marry his wealthy and gravely ill brother. What appears to be a calculated route to an inheritance becomes unstable when her feelings for the patient change. Money and affection begin pulling the conspirators in opposite directions.

Reception and legacy
The New York Times received the film harshly, finding its plotting and performances unconvincing. That contemporary response contrasts with the later interest in modest crime melodramas as part of film noir's wider history.
