A noir-inflected thriller about jealousy and betrayal set against the glittering backdrop of an ice-skating revue, where suspicion and illicit desire spiral toward murder.

The proprietor of an ice-skating revue promotes a peanut-vendor to a management position based on suggestions he made to improve the act of the show's star, who also happens to be the owner's wife. However, he soon begins to notice that his new manager is paying more attention to his wife than he believes is appropriate.
