Ross Martin plays Paul Marlin, who was just acquitted for the murder of his rich wife by a jury, though doubts still remain. Paul's lawyer advises him to get out of town to avoid a relentless press, and also to take a break. Paul arrives in a new town and stays in a quaint hotel, but his past soon catches up with him when he sees a recurrent vision of an unknown assassin bearing down on him in a mirror. Paul seeks solace in a nearby bar, but still sees the killer's reflection in that mirror! It turns out that his late wife's past and his deserved fate will finally catch up and overtake him quite soon...Ross Martin is excellent, and helps the obvious plot work.
