Brothers Cliff and Jim Brandon are a successful writing team specializing in murder mysteries, but Cliff and Jim are almost as disturbed as some of the characters they have created. While researching their latest novel, Cliff commits murder, simply to experience the thrill. He then attempts to frame his secretary Joan for the crime. His reason is personal: both brothers are in love with Joan, but she prefers Jim. Jim, the saner of the two brothers, races against time to save Joan from the gallows and to bring Cliff to justice.
