This is another situation where only the first 15 minutes of the program has survived. The full script is available, and it has been recreated in full.
The story concerns a young woman suspected by her fiancé of having poisoned three husbands. Spoiler alert: a fortune teller is really a Scotland Yard detective.
The program stars Geraldine Fitzgerald, another actor with a very long career. She was in the famous movie Watch on the Rhine at this time. The movie was in final production. The other star in the cast is Sir Cedric Hardwicke.
