Summary |
"An estranged husband, jealous of his young wife's boyfriends, murders her. The next day, writer Robert Tisdall (who happens to be one such boyfriend) discovers her body on the beach. He runs to call the police; however, two witnesses think that he is the escaping murderer. Robert is arrested, but owing to a mix up at the courthouse, he escapes and goes on the run with a police constable's daughter, Erica, who is determined to prove his innocence."--Container. |
