Bill Rogers (Dan Duryea), an American jet pilot stationed in the States, goes AWOL and heads to England to find out why he hasn't heard from his wife lately. Upon his arrival, he learns details that suggest she has left him and is living a life which involves many male 'friends'. In her new apartment, an angry Rogers awaits her return and anticipates their confrontation. When she shows up, he is suddenly knocked unconscious from behind. When he awakes he finds his wife has been murdered, and that he is the prime suspect. With only 36 hours at his disposal, Rogers takes it upon himself to track down the actual killer.
