Description
Wealthy antique dealer Nello Poletti is falsely accused of murdering his former mistress, who set him up in a life of luxury only to be cast aside in favour of a younger woman. The evidence seems overwhelming, and Poletti is sent to jail, where he reflects on his shameful life of deceit in pursuit of wealth. Overcome by guilt, Poletti decides to confess, only to discover that the real killer – a spurned lover – has already been apprehended.
