在这部姐妹情仇剧情片中,约翰．休斯顿导演的伦理奇情片。贝特．戴维斯和奥利维亚．德．哈维尔兰德饰演一对个性相反的姐妹，前者自私自利，为达目的择手段；后者则忍辱负重。戴维斯在准备跟未婚夫乔治．布朗结婚的一星期前，竟出人意外地跟奥利维亚的丈夫丹尼斯．摩根私奔。奥利维亚后来虽同意离婚，摩根却因自咎而寻了短见。戴维斯有如斗败的公鸡想回到布朗身边，却发现他已娶了奥利维亚。戴维斯尝到了害人终害已的苦头。全片以戴维斯恶魔般的演技为中心，其他角色亦把握住神经过敏的戏剧张力，使这部人际关系冲击强烈的影片有种特别的魅力。
A young woman (Stanley Timberlake) dumps her fiancée (Craig Fleming) and runs off with her sister's (Roy Timberlake) husband (Peter Kingsmill). They marry, settle in Baltimore, and Stanley ultimately drives Peter to drink and suicide. Stanley returns home to Richmond only to learn that her sister Roy and old flame Craig have fallen in love and plan to marry. The jealous and selfish Stanley attempts to win back Craig's affections, but her true character is revealed when, rather than take the rap herself, she attempts to pin a hit and run accident on the young black clerk (Parry Clay) who works in Craig's law office.
