Larry Ballentine is a charming yet morally dubious man entangled in a web of deceit and betrayal. He is trapped in a loveless marriage with his wealthy wife, Greta, whose money supports his lifestyle. Despite this, Larry engages in numerous affairs, including one with Janice Bell, a former flame. Desiring to leave Greta for Janice, Larry persuades her to invest in a ranch venture that he promises will secure their future together.

As tensions rise, Larry's life spirals further out of control when Greta discovers his infidelity and offers him a choice: end the relationship with Janice and focus on his marriage, or leave without a dime. Choosing selfishly, Larry plunges deeper into his scheming, leading to tragic consequences that ensnare him in a murder investigation. Faced with mounting evidence against him, Larry's testimony is the only thing standing between him and a lifetime behind bars.
