America in the 1950's. Two young strangers meet in the dining-car of a train: Guy Haines, an ambitious architect, and Charles Bruno, a charming but spoilt mother's boy with a liking for drink. Because they're strangers they "can say anything they like" to one another. So much so that Bruno proposes the perfect murder: he will kill Guy's feckless, unfaithful wife, and in return, Guy will kill Bruno's much hated father. Amused, Guy parts from Bruno never imagining he will see him again, or that Bruno was serious. But Bruno was deadly serious and when he kills Guy's wife, he expects Guy to fulfil his part of the proposition....
