Lovely Nancy seems like the ideal bride to fiancée John Willis... until, just before the ceremony, Willis is approached by Harry Blair, claiming to be Nancys former husband. The tale Blair unfolds (in a flashback within a flashback within a flashback!) paints Nancy as a kleptomaniac, habitual liar, and perhaps worse. But is Blair telling the truth? And does fate have another surprise in store?
Nancy Patton is about to marry wealthy young John Ewert Willis Jr. (Gene Raymond) when an agitated stranger, Dr. Harry Blair (Brian Aherne), introduces himself to Willis and explains he was once married to Nancy and wants to warn him against her. He relates that a young artist , Norman Clyde (Robert Mitchum), was in love with Nancy until at a party a diamond bracelet was stolen, which Norman later discovered in Nancys handbag. Her only explanation was that she wanted it, because as a child, Mrs. John Ewery Wills Sr. (Katherine Emery) falsely accused her of stealing a silver heart locket, which gave her a guilt complex.Norman returned the bracelet and later committed suicide. Then, at another party, the host was mysteriously murdered and a famous gem, the Lombard diamond, disappeared. Nancy, when suspected, protested her innocence, and a valet was executed for the murder. She also denied everything about her past to her then husband Blair. He then relates further further that he and Nancy moved to London, where one night at a party a diamond necklace was "lost". Later, following a Nazi air raid which destroyed their apartment, he found the necklace and the long-missing Lombard diamond among the rubble. Confronted with the jewels, Nancy divorced Blair. Willis is flabbergasted at this history of his intended bride and he has her confront Blair. Cool, collected and poised, she denies everything, Baffled, Blair mumbles that he has been confined to an insane asylum at Nancys instigation. Just before the wedding ceremony, Willis mother gives Nancy a family heirloom to wear...the locket. A myriad of childhood memories stir her, and she collapses. She is taken to a hospital, from which she will emerge purged of her gnawing compulsion.
