Guy Haines è un tennista di successo con una moglie isterica. Bruno Anthony è un miliardario con un padre di cui farebbe volentieri a meno. I due s'incontrano in treno e Bruno espone subito il suo progetto: se Guy gli fa fuori il padre, lui in cambio gli ucciderà la moglie. Guy rifiuta, ma Bruno mette lo stesso in atto il suo progetto e pretende che l'altro gli ricambi la 'cortesia'.
