Plot
While on vacation in Scotland, Sally Morton learns that her lover of the past two weeks, painter Geoffrey Carroll, is married, to an invalid no less, so she ends their romance. Back home in London with his wife and pre-teen daughter, Beatrice ("Bea"), Geoffrey buys a package of a potentially-dangerous substance from chemist Horace Blagdon, signing the register with a false name. Geoffrey is painting his wife's portrait, depicting her as the Angel of Death.
