Summary

Once a famous pianist, Carl Krasner is now a bitter and violent man, having lost the use of his hands in a terrible accident. He fritters away his money in a casino, knowing that he will soon be bankrupt, but he doesn’t care. He lives in a villa near the sea with his beautiful wife Bella, his daughter and his secretary. Both women know that Bella doesn’t love her husband anymore and that she is merely waiting for the right moment to leave him. Bella thinks that day has come when she meets Ralph Scaffari on the beach. Fearing Carl’s reaction, she is surprised when he agrees to a divorce her – but on one condition. Because Carl is now ruined, Bella must help him to plan and execute a fraud against his life insurance company...
