Schwarzer Engel (1946)
Die attraktive Sängerin Mavis Malowe wird tot in ihrem Appartement aufgefunden. Sofort wird ihr Liebhaber Kirk Benett der Tat verdächtigt, da dieser von dem Opfer erpresst wurde. Benett wird festgenommen und in einem Gerichtsverfahren zum Tode verurteilt. Doch ausgerechnet Benetts betrogene Ehefrau Catherine ist von der Unschuld ihres Mannes überzeugt. So tut sie sich mit Martin Blair dem alkoholkranken Ex-Mann der Toten, zusammen, um den wahren Täter zu finden und somit ihren Mann vor der Vollstreckung des Todesurteils zu bewahren. Bereits nach kurzer Zeit führt ihr Weg sie in den Nachtclub des zwielichtigen Marko , wo sie gemeinsam als Musikerduo anheuern, um dem wahren Täter auf die Spur zu kommen ...
