Drei Fremde (1946)
Im Glauben an die chinesische Schicksalsgöttin Kwan Yin arrangiert die junge, attraktive Crystal Shackleford ein Treffen mit zwei völlig fremden Menschen, dem Treuhänder Jerôme Arbutny und dem trunksüchtigen kleinen Gauner Johnny West. Crystal bringt die beiden Männer dazu, gemeinsam eine Pferdewette abzuschließen und sich auf der Rückseite des Wettscheins vertraglich zu verpflichten, den möglichen Gewinn zu teilen. Durch diesen Bund werden die Karten des Schicksals neu gemischt, die Ereignisse nehmen ihren Lauf. Gekränkt darüber, dass sie ihren Mann David nicht halten kann, zerstört Crystal durch Intrigen seine berufliche Zukunft, und auch Davids Beziehung zu seiner Geliebten Janet. Johnny West kommt unterdessen durch die Falschaussage seines Komplizen Betram Fallon in die Todeszelle. Auch der Treuhänder Arbutny steht bald mit dem Rücken zur Wand.
