    Plot Summary
    Laurie Devon (Mayo) is a New York playwright who, having had one success,
    refuses to work on another play. One night he sees a woman (Anderson)
    in an apartment across the street take out a gun and place it to her forehead.
    He reaches her in time to save her, and she tells him that
    she is under some terrible evil influence, which she will not disclose.
    Devon attempts to untangle the mystery and is led on an adventure.
    The woman is taken to a house on Long Island, where Devon after a fight rescues her.
    He takes out the revolver and shoots one of the pursuers, who falls to the ground.
    On returning home, he is heartbroken and tells his sister Barbara (Fair)
    and his friends that he is a murderer.
    His sister and two of his friends then confess that the whole thing was a frame-up,
    that they had hired some actors to stage everything,
    and that it was an attempt to get the ambitionless author to write again.
    The revolver used in the suicide attempt by the woman and in the later shooting had blanks.
    Devon and the woman from the apartment melt into each other's arms at the final fade-out.
