Michael Craig and his staff find his third wife, apparently drowned in the pool. That's how the death certificate reads, but the insurance company gets an exhumation; it's the third wife in three years and they've had policies on all three. He goes up for trial on murder, because the coroner found large amounts of sleeping pills in her system. But is found not guilty, largely on the testimony of his housekeeper, Miranda Camping, who testifies that she had taken a similar dose from the woman the evening before. She admits to Craig this was a lie.
One night, he finds Caroll Baker swimming in his pool. Within a couple of months they're married, and she presents him with an insurance policy on her life. But whom does she phone at odd hours, reporting on Craig? Who is she really.
The dubbed version of Eugenio Martín's movie has some odd choices in the English-language performance, but it's a fascinating movie that takes unexpected turns, but still leaves the central mysteries unexplained. Normally I would find that annoying. Here, they add a piquancy and suspense about what happens after the story ends.
