The Garden House

Richard Kimble arbeitet als Stallknecht bei einer wohlhabenden Verlegerfamilie auf Long Island. Dass der Besitz allein seiner Frau Ann gehört, ist Verleger Harlan lange schon ein Dorn im Auge. Zusammen mit Anns Schwester Carol, seiner heimlichen Geliebten schmiedet er Mordpläne. Als Carol Dr. Kimbles falsche Identität entdeckt, scheinen beide den perfekten Sündenbock für ihren Plan gefunden zu haben. (Text: Premiere)

Kimble is working as the caretaker at a spacious ranch in Connecticut which is owned by newspaper heiress Ann Guthrie who lives with her husband Harlan and her sister Ruth. Ann and Ruth's late father founded the Westborne Clarion, the newspaper that Harlan currently runs. Although Ann is the sole benefactor of her father's estate, she believes Ruth is entitled to part of the fortune. But Ann is unaware that the greedy Ruth is having an affair with Harlan and they plot to murder Ann and claim everything. When Kimble suspects Ruth and Harlan's plan and informs Ann, the skeptic heiress refuses to believe Kimble. Knowing that Kimble knows, the crafty couple plot to frame him for Ann's murder.
