La bestia umana (1954)
Buckley, ferroviere violento e litigioso, costringe la moglie a intercedere per lui presso il dirigente che lo ha licenziato. Poi uccide l'uomo e ricatta la moglie con una lettera da lei firmata. I rapporti tra i due restano tesi: Buckley si ubriaca di continuo, la moglie lo tradisce con Jeff che è innamorato di lei. Nei piani della donna, Jeff dovrà uccidere il marito e sottrargli la lettera per poi fuggire con lei; ma Jeff si limita a stordirlo, a impossessarsi del foglio e a fuggire abbandonandola. Buckley la raggiunge sul treno.
