Bruce Chapman is fed up with his wife Marie's lavish spending, especially her gambling addiction. As he leaves on a 6-week business trip, he puts Marie on a $50-a-week allowance, she threatens to divorce him and he suggests that she think about what's more important to her. Desperate for $2000, Marie pressures her ex-husband Walter Sprague and his new wife Helen to come up with the cash. Helen agrees to meet Marie at their summer cabin at 9:00 PM. Helen is discovered there by a neighbor out riding his horse; instead of Marie, they find a note from her. When Bruce returns early from his trip, he discovers that Marie's in Las Vegas and has filed for divorce. He contacts Perry about the implications of the divorce on his will and for general advice as he plans to pay her the $25,000 she asked for as a settlement. But when he goes to his weekend cabin, he finds Marie strangled. It's up to Perry to sort through the case that involves false identities and perjured testimony.
