Eliza Burkin (Liz to her friends), a very attractive but hard-up model, has succeeded in becoming engaged to a wealthy, but prudish socialite. Her one fear is that knowledge of a former love affair will come to the ears of her fiance, who definitely would not approve. To complicate matters, her former lover is murdered at a party at which she is present, and only that day she had sent him a compromising and threatening letter because he had been pestering her, thus providing an excellent motive for wanting him out of the way. Only the tireless efforts of a rather likeable District Attorney saves Liz, and by that time she is not so sure that she minds her boring socialite fiance knowing her past anyway!
