When scheming fortune hunter and erstwhile Latin lover Ricardo De Villa learns that a wealthy but sickly widow has terminal heart disease, he seduces and marries the vulnerable millionairess.
Playing the part of a faithful and doting husband, he carries on a torrid affair with sexy exotic dancer Fritzi Darvel while avoiding the suspicious eyes of her jealous bongo-playing husband.
When his wife's condition seems to go into remission, the impatient De Villa decides on action that will hasten her seemingly inevitable death.
The plot sounds awfully racy but these are the 50s.
This is sort of a film noir and it's worth a watch, despite the very bad prints that are available.
Good story.
Good acting.
