Two writer brothers, one upright, the other psychopathic, compete for their secretary's affection. The psychopath plans a "perfect crime" with an ex-convict, blurring fiction and reality.

A story of two brothers, both writers of crime novels, one a fine, upstanding gentleman and the other a moody, neurotic, psychopath. The other is determined to create a 'faked' version of a perfect crime he intends to commit when an ex-convict visits them. They are both in love with their shared-stenographer-secretary.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
