THE PLOT

by Evelyn Piper ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 9, 1951

The intent to kill, and its deflection, when Louis Daignot, brooding over his dying mother and his poverty, comes to stay with Jamey Vaughn, an aged, sutocratic and famous author. Accepted by Jamey as his ""spiritual son"", Louis- under the influence of his secretary- contemplates plagiarism and possible murder, but is foiled and saved by the old man's master plot in an ironic reversal. A deep southern plantation overcast, and the psychotic underlay as before, this if contrived is still clever.
