Plot

[edit]

A couple host a weekend party at their country estate. Their guests include two married lovers of the womanizing host. When he begins flirting with another young woman all become jealous of him. The wife's former fiancée begs her leave her husband and come away with him. Later that evening her husband is murdered, and his bloody pyjamas in her bedroom seems to point to her guilt.
