In deepest Texas, Julian Marty, night-club owner and jealous husband, hires Visser, a corrupt private detective, to kill his wife Abby and her lover Ray. The investigator pockets his fee - and shoots the husband, whose body is discovered by the lover. The lover burns the body believing the assassin to be the wife. Ignorant of the crime, the wife believes her lover is going out of his mind. The detective, meanwhile, believes the two are plotting his own downfall, and hunts them down. The film was remade by its authors 14 years after the original.
