One night on a lonely highway, a man in a speeding car tosses a satchel of money meant for somebody else into Jane and Alan Palmers convertible as they are heading down a mountain road to a party. When they open the satchel and see whats inside, Alan wants to turn it over to the police, but Jane, with a life of luxury now within reach, persuades him to hang onto it "for a while." Soon afterward, the Palmers are tracked down by one Danny Fuller, a sleazy character who claims the money is his. To hang on to the cash, Jane will need to exercise all her feminine wiles, even if it leads her to dangerous circumstances and criminal behavior.
In Los Angeles, Alan Palmer and his wife, Jane, are driving to a party when a satchel is thrown in the back seat of their convertible sedan. When they open the satchel, they find a large amount of money. Alan decides to deliver the money to the police, but Jane is opposed to that plan and wants to keep it. So Alan decides to stow the suitcase with the money in a locker at Union Station until they can come up with a solution that satisfies them both. A couple of days later, Jane spends a small amount on furs and other gifts for herself. Shortly afterward, a sleazy character called Danny Fuller comes to their apartment pretending to be a detective and Jane lets him in, but he soon reveals that he is not a detective and says the money belongs to him. When Alan returns home from work and discovers that Jane has spent some of the cash, he becomes upset, but Jane does not mention anything to him about Danny. During the night, Alan and Jane go on a boat ride at a local lake to make amends where she accidentally kills him with his own pistol as he struggles to take the gun away from her in the boat. Danny, who is waiting nearby in the dark, is forced by Jane to help her dump the body. Jane then reports to the police that her husband is missing. Her sister-in-law, Kathy Palmer, who lives on the same floor snoops around Janes apartment and finds the receipt from the locker. When Kathy is sneaking out, she stumbles into a stranger named Don Blake who says that he is Alans friend. Meanwhile, Jane desperately looks for the receipt in order to retrieve the money.
