Hard up and with a grudge against insurance companies, English pilot Rex Black fakes his death and meets up with his wife and the money in Malaga, Spain when things have quieted down. But when the insurance investigator turns up, Rex starts a game of cat-and-mouse.
Rex Black was the owner and operator of his own one plane air transport company based in Croydon, England. He died in a glider accident off the coast of England, his body was never recovered. In reality, he faked his own death in order for his wife, Stella Black, to collect on his life insurance policy. The Blacks orchestrated this scheme to get back at the Excelsior Insurance Company, which denied them insurance payment when Rexs plane crashed and burned, since his insurance policy expired by two days, either by Rexs error on forgetting a payment or having the mail delay the renewal payment. He figured the insurance company owes them for ruining their livelihood. Their plan, which evolves as it goes along, is for Stella to collect the moneys, Rex to assume another identity in Málaga, Spain, where the two will rendezvous, Stella to arrange for the money to be deposited and converted into draft form that they can access from anywhere in the world, and them to travel elsewhere where they can start their life anew. Stealing a passport of a tourist in Málaga, Rex assumes the identity of Jim Jerome, an Australian sheep farmer. But things change when Stella becomes more concerned about being with Rex, than ensuring their plan is foolproof, and Rex veers in the opposite direction, seemingly becoming fixated on the money, and being addicted to what he sees as easy money in defrauding insurance companies. These two issues become all the more important when Stephen Maddux, the Excelsior investigator working on Rexs policy claim, arrives in Málaga. Rex and Stella have to find out if he is on to them, if it is all coincidence, or if he is in Málaga for some other purpose. Rex and Stella will also have to decide how far they will go if indeed Stephen is tailing them to reclaim the insurance money.
