Fright

Prescott Marshall, a young and ambitious Wall Street clerk, finds himself in hot water when a vengeful ex-lover named Leona Harris threatens him and his future happiness with fiancée Marjorie Harris, if he doesn't pay her on the eve of his wedding night. In a panic, he kills Leona in order to live happily with Marjorie, yet he finds himself overwrought with guilt and becomes intensely paranoid that the police will find him.  He flees New York City with Marjorie, convinced that there are people following him, and begins a journey of despair, murder and lies to cover up what he’s done.
