Amateur tennis star Guy Haines (Farley Granger) wants to divorce his wife Miriam (Laura Elliott), so he can marry the woman he loves.
While on a train to meet Miriam, Haines meets Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker), a forward stranger who recognizes Guy from gossip items in the newspapers and knows about his marital problems. During lunch in Bruno's compartment, Bruno tells Guy about his idea for the perfect murder(s): he will kill Miriam and in exchange, Guy will kill Bruno's father.
Bruno heads to Guy's hometown of Metcalf and follows Miriam and two boys to an amusement park, where he briefly illuminates her face with Guy's lighter, then strangles her to death.
