A young newlywed couple arrives at a cabin resort near Niagara Falls. A jealous and aggressive older man and his beautiful and crafty wife are staying in the neighboring cabin. This rare film noir in Technicolor offers a gripping but predictable mix of murder, deceit, and sexual tension against a picturesque backdrop. Marilyn Monroe memorably stars as the stunning femme fatale.
