Di ritorno dalle vacanze, Reggie scopre che il marito è stato assassinato. Un uomo affascinante conosciuto in villeggiatura, Peter, le offre il suo aiuto. Gli amici del defunto cominciano ad angosciarla con richieste di denaro poco ortodosse e anche Peter sembra ora meno amichevole di quanto aveva dato a vedere.
