Quite clever, I must say. You married Peggy, a--a bad girl in your mind. You brought her out here so we could fall in love. You used all kinds of tricks to arouse our affections, to excite us! Why, you even played jealous, forced us to dance, to kiss, to get ideas into our heads... You stopped at nothing! You even killed my little dog so he wouldn't give you away while you were spying on us outside!

&quot;Marko&quot; (Hugo Haas) and his best mate &quot;Ray&quot; (John Agar) head off into the wilderness searching for a lost gold mine. Duly found and riches secured, the former man starts to resent sharing with his younger partner so hits on quite an ingenious plan to be rid of him. When he returns from a supply run to the local town, he brings with him a new wife. &quot;Peggy&quot; (Cleo Moore) is a feisty, no-nonsense woman who is also quite appreciative of her husband taking her from the drudgery of the town. Now the ingeniousness of the plan kicks in. &quot;Marko&quot; hopes that his glamorous young wife and his business partner will fall for each other and that will allow them to catch them flagrante delicto - and all will be his! It&apos;s got to be said that being holed up in a remote cabin as the snow sets in tests the mettle of everyone, but will his plan succeed or will they realise they are being manipulated? The problem here is that there&apos;s just no chemistry. Anywhere. Moore can&apos;t quite decide if she wants to be Doris Day or Barbara Stanwyck and Agar is just straight out of central casting&apos;s book of handsome B-stars that deliver just enough but never more. There&apos;s something quite sad about the conclusion, and indeed that rather makes the whole thing worth a watch, but I think once will do.
