Mystery writer Mark Halletti’s ship is about to arrive at the port, but Tony and Margot have their own minds. A year ago, Margot was very dissatisfied with Tony, so he developed feelings with Mark. After Mark returned to the United States, he still had correspondence with Margot. He came to Tony and Margot's house and seemed to get along well with Tony. Tony stays at home alone and does not accompany Margot and Mark to the theater, but finds Rogue Les. It turns out Tony already knew his wife’s secrets and wanted to take away his wife’s property. Under the dual effects of coercion and temptation, Les promised to kill Margot for him the next day. Tony revealed his long and careful plan. He asked Les to use the phone as a signal to kill Margot and create the illusion of a thief entering the house. After all the troubles, Tony finally arranged everything properly. After the phone rang, Les began to take action, but Les was killed by Margot in the fight. Tony rushed home immediately, and before the police came, he created the scene where Les extortion was not possible but Margot was murdered. Under Tony's careful arrangement, all the evidence shows that Margot killed Les. Tony pretended to be miserable, but was already excited about the victory. Just when he was proud, Mark, who was good at reasoning and conceived, and the sergeant of scheming, found clues.

Tony Wendice: [on the phone to a lawyer] We had a burglary last night, and Margot was attacked. No, she's all right. But the man was killed, and the police are here now. And don't laugh... they're suggesting that Margot killed him intentionally!
Chief Insp. Hubbard: [interrupting Tony] I wouldn't say that if I were you, sir.
-
Mark Halliday: When did you find out, sir?
Chief Insp. Hubbard: Well, the first clue came quite by accident.
[to Margot]
Chief Insp. Hubbard: We discovered that your husband had been spending a large number of pound notes all over the place - it ran into over three hundred pounds - and it appeared to have started at about the time you were arrested. Now, I had to find out where he got that money, and how. Then I remembered that after you were arrested we searched this flat, and I saw a copy of his bank statement in that desk. So yesterday afternoon, I went to the prison and asked to see your handbag. While I was doing this, I managed to lift your latchkey. Highly irregular, of course, but my blood was up. And then this morning when your husband was out, I came back here to look at his statement. I never saw it... because I never got through that door. You see, the key that I'd taken from your handbag didn't fit the lock!
