The Seventh Victim (1943)
Die kaum volljährige Privatschülerin Mary Gibson (Kim Hunter) sieht sich eines Tages dem Problem ausgesetzt, daß ihre ältere und wohlhabende Schwester Jacqueline, zu der sie so gut wie keinen Kontakt hat, die Schulgebühren seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr zahlt. Notgedrungen reist sie nach New York, um dort festzustellen, daß ihre Schwester den Anteil an einer Kosmetikfirma ihrem Kompgagnon überschrieben hat und verschwunden ist. In der Folge kommt sie jedoch mit einigen Leuten in Kontakt, die Jacqueline zumindest gesehen haben, doch dann geschehen mysteriöse Dinge: ein angemietetes Zimmer enthält nur einen Sessel und eine Henkersschlinge, ein Privatdetektiv verliert bei seinen Nachforschungen sein Leben und Jacquelines Mann sucht ebenfalls nach seiner Frau, die anscheinend in psychiatrischer Behandlung war. Stück für Stück kommt Mary dem Geheimnis näher, das mit einem seltsamen Zirkel von Leuten zu tun hat...
