le piège (1948)
John Forbes, marié et père de famille, dirige une compagnie d'assurance. Malgré des journées bien remplies, il trouve sa vie monotone. Un jour, il a l'occasion de briser cette monotonie : Bill Smiley, assuré chez Forbes, tente d'escroquer ce dernier et détourne l'argent de son assurance pour offrir des cadeaux à sa maîtresse, Mona Stevens. Dans un premier temps, Forbes veut récupérer son argent mais tombe rapidement sous le charme de Mona et devient son amant. MacDonald, un détective indépendant qui travaille pour la compagnie d'assurance de Forbes, voit cette liaison d'un mauvais œil car il avait déjà des vues sur Mona. Obsédé par l'idée de nuire à Forbes, MacDonald décide de lui tendre un piège, aidé par Bill et Mona.
