Jack Palance is tormented. Rod Steiger, the head of the studio he's working for, wants him to sign another 7 years long contract while his wife, Ida Lupino, has been clearly telling him that she would definitively leave him if he signs it. But Steiger, a few years ago, has saved Palance from serving time in prison and is now threatening him to reveal it if the contract is not signed. Lupino, still loving him, hesitates to divorce.
