Comment
A wealthy man (James Kirkwood) who has had a string of affairs finally falls in love and marries a woman (Linda Watkins). They go to Florida where they meet up with his friends, including one of his former lovers (Josephine Dunn). She meets the handsom next door neighbour (Reed Howes) and the boyfriend of one of his ex-lovers (Molly O'Day) appears to exact revenge. This leaves plenty of suspects when he is shot dead. The plot and direction are not great. Linda Watkins is OK in the lead and there is good support from Josephine Dunn as jealous lover.
