Hannah Blake, sex tortured and hate charged, evades the frame but not the picture of murder when she kills the object of her childish and adult envy, wealthy Mrs. . The pitfalls of her deadly ordeal, as she goes about her daily life -- in the bank, taking part in the library board, a poetry contest, and a mock air raid for Civil Defense her continued victimization of those too close to her secret, the little things that give her away end in a pitiful justice. A Lake Michigan town with its various social grouping makes an authentic background for a psychopathic portrait.
