Philip Marshall, homme méticuleux et intègre d'une soixantaine d'années, est empoisonnée par une épouse acariâtre, Cora, dont le caractère odieux a déjà provoqué le départ de leur fils. Philip rencontre une jeune secrétaire, Mary Grey, en quête de travail. Il lui obtient une place dans une boutique et la revoit régulièrement. Comme sa femme le suit, il met fin à cette liaison platonique après avoir avoué son amour à Mary. Un soir, Cora menace d'aller voir Mary et de faire scandale. Philip la tue. L'enquête conclut à un accident mais l'inspecteur Huxley n'est guère convaincu...
