Set on an estate not far from Melbourne. The master of the estate is poisoned by the cat-like wife of his servant and childhood friend Bruce. The dead man's brother, an amateur photographer, has a negative of the woman placing the poison in the glass. Confronted with her crime and the choice of the gallows or swallowing her own poison, she has a heart attack. (PB)
