**Storyline:**
Lord Hugo Bruckton, a young Englishman and heir to a vast fortune, is married to Ginny, who appears devoted to him. They have a young son, but Hugo is consumed by jealousy, convinced Ginny is having an affair with a colleague. He begins spying on her, his suspicions spiraling into uncontrollable rage.
One night, after a gathering with his old British Army regiment, Hugo and his friends go out for a drive. In a drunken state, Hugo accidentally hits and kills a woman. While most of his friends urge him to flee the scene, one opposes the cover-up. In his intoxicated mind, Hugo had imagined he was running over Ginny.
In the following days, a psychological battle unfolds. Peter, Hugo’s business associate, sees the incident as an opportunity to gain control over the estate. Jamie, who is dating Hugo’s sister, insists on reporting the crime to the police. Hugo’s family rallies around him, fearing that his arrest would tarnish their reputation. As the police investigation intensifies, the power struggle escalates, leading to fatal consequences.
Ultimately, Peter and Hugo murder Jamie, staging his death as a suicide. They frame Jamie as the driver responsible for the woman’s death, claiming guilt drove him to throw himself off a cliff. The police accept this narrative and close the case. Hugo emerges unscathed, his immoral life continuing without disruption.
