Plot
The film begins with a woman murdering a man. The police arrive at the restaurant where the murder was committed and talk to the woman. A waiter was eavesdropping and overheard part of the conversation between the killer and the victim. The waiter tells the police about the red-haired woman.
Police Inspector Regan (Purnell Pratt) and his colleague Police Captain Kent (Huntley Gordon) come to see Bob Shelton, and to talk with his wife. She (Merna Kennedy) is already prepared with an explanation of why she had to kill the man. After she tells them, they ask her to give them the gun. They discover she did fire her gun, but as it is a 32 calibre, it couldn't have been the same gun which killed the man, as he was shot with a 45. The mystery continues.
