Plot
John Norton, a young lawyer, receives a telegram from an old fraternity brother, Gary Payne, which says that an old investment has now turned profitable. Norton's wife Kit doesn't trust Payne, but they retire for the evening after a short discussion. The next morning, Norton has a bump on his head, and mysterious evidence that something is amiss. Showing signs of amnesia, Norton heads to Charles Cantrell's (his law partner) house, only to find evidence that he (Norton) had murdered Cantrell. Police detective Inspector Craven suspects there is more to the events than just Norton's memory loss. Eventually Norton confronts Payne, gets shot, and the police arrive in time to save Norton and arrest Payne.
