The making and breaking of a killer, this follows Amy, fifth wife of Jeff Whitlook, when she decides to kill Jeff rather than let him gamble away a cache of bills found in a cousin's Laguna beachhouse. Under the suspicion of Lambert, the cousin, of Eddie, a Las Vegas shill, Amy is forced to kill again when too closely crowded- and in the end is caught by a crime she had not meant to commit... A familiar pattern, in a neat, smart retake.
