Synopsis | A man murders his wife making it look like a suicide in order to marry a wealthy woman. As he leaves her grave site in the evening he notices he has picked up an unwanted companion, his dead wife's shadow. At first the shadow ruins his relationship with the wealthy woman, then strangles her while framing her husband by appearing to a policeman around a corner to be a victim's shadow being strangled by the husband's shadow. The husband tells the truth on the stand but obviously the jury doesn't believe him and he is executed and buried next to his dead wife. Only then does her shadow return to the grave and rest. |
