A woman preparing to marry her fiance is accused of bigamy by a stranger but she fights back by trying to prove she's the victim of a conspiracy designed to discredit her.

During Ellen and David's wedding ceremony, a stranger stands up at the phrase "If anyone knows why these two may not be joined...". The stranger announces that Ellen is already married. Ellen insists she is not, and the strain of proving that she is telling the truth pushes her mind towards a breakdown and results in the death of the man she has supposedly already married, among others. Ellen is charged with this death, but David believes in her innocence and sets out to uncover the conspiracy and the reason behind it.—Ron Kerrigan <[email protected]>

At the highly-secured, by-invitation-only-entrance wedding of concert pianist Ellen Ewing and architect David McLean, one invited guest is District Attorney Eric Lowell who, as Ellen's former boyfriend, wished he was in David's place. Someone else at the wedding is an unknown man who was able to make it in without an invitation. He accuses Ellen of already being married to his friend Lucian Randall in Fairview this past March 21; after delivering this, the man runs off. Ellen claims that she is not married, has never seen that man before, and does not know who Lucian Randall is, although she vaguely remembers being in Fairview that day, at her beach house, just before a concert. Ellen and David, with Ellen's Aunt Clara and Gregory Kent, Ellen's guardian since the passing of her own father, by their side, have no other option but to follow up on this information. In investigating leads in Fairview, Ellen and David find that everything they find and everyone they talk to corroborates that she is indeed Mrs. Lucian Randall, from the marriage license, to the Justice of the Peace who conducted the ceremony to a maid at the hotel where they apparently spent their wedding night, the maid who even has Ellen's mother's pin which Ellen apparently gave to her. When Ellen and David are able to track down Lucian Randall himself, the events at their meeting send Ellen teetering on the verge of a nervous breakdown in not only not remembering anything about a "Lucian Randall" in her past, but that of what actually happens at that meeting which could result in Ellen being put away for a multitude of reasons, for good.—Huggo
