In London, a cuckolded husband concocts a fiendish plot to dispose of his wife's lover in a way no one will suspect, but his watertight plan still attracts the attention of a Scotland Yard detective.

Neat little suspense story has Newton playing a cuckolded doctor. Fed up with his wife's infidelities, he decides to murder her latest lover (Brown). Newton kidnaps the man and hides him in a cellar while preparing a deadly acid bath. It looks like a grim fate awaits Brown, but the plot is foiled by the wife's pooch, which follows the pair and ends up leading the cops to the scene. Some fine moments and good suspense in an interesting story.
