The film is as aged as Bette. Lacks rythm, action, passion. The crime and the motifs are so cold and unexplained, the second characters are so useless and wasted, Malden for instance.

A wealthy woman is murdered by her twin sister, who takes over her identity. However, she soon finds herself in dire straits when her impersonation is discovered by her dead sister's lover and he begins to blackmail her. She simultaneously discovers that her twin had murdered her husband with the help of the lover. When the police discover this as well, she goes on trial for murder.
