A bar owner discovers one of his employees is having an affair with his wife. He hires a private detective to kill them both. But the private detective decides to kill the bar owner and keep the blood money for himself. However, the bar owner dies hard, and the exciting part of the movie concerns the action of all the characters interacting with the not-quite-body, or the absence of the body, or the absence of the person. Truly this is is a smart movie: unless the viewer is paying attention, he will get lost in the plot. Everyone miss-understands the situation --- and the end sees the lady fatale fighting against what she believes is her husband come back to life. And this is the one drawback of the film: that it becomes forgettable because it is hard to keep the misunderstandings --- and therefore, the motivations --- straight. Still, while the plot is fresh on one's mind, the movie is thrilling.
