action
Derek Charles is newly married to Sharon and is moving into a large mansion with her. They have just had a son and married life seems to be perfect. Derek is a successful manager , which means that Sharon can concentrate solely on housekeeping and looking after the newborn child.
Sharon's opponent is Lisa Sheridan, a young attractive lady who has a temporary job in Derek's office for two weeks. She is obsessed with Derek and tries by all means to destroy his marriage and win him over. Derek doesn't get involved, but hides everything from his wife.
Lisa finally tries to take her own life with an overdose of pills after Derek's rejection. Derek finds and saves her at the last minute by alerting the ambulance. As a result of this incident, which took place on a business trip by Derek, his wife also became aware of Lisa. She traveled there without further ado and believed that Derek had cheated on her with Lisa.
From then on, Sharon and Derek live separately for three months until he succeeds in convincing Sharon of his innocence. No sooner has he succeeded than the now forgotten Lisa interferes again. She manages to kidnap her son temporarily and see Sharon at home, supposedly to talk to her about everything in peace. But she instigates a violent fight that becomes the final showdown between Lisa and Sharon. After a ten-minute fight, Sharon emerges victorious, but wants to save Lisa from the impending fatal fall from the attic. Lisa tries to drag Sharon to her death, but fails and finally falls alone to her death.
