Alan Hunt is ambitious and unpleasant – a caravan salesman with good looks, youth and charm. He is engaged to be married to Susan, a plain girl with a beautiful fortune.

Just two weeks before the wedding, Gwenda Nicholls turns up, a pretty redhead he seduced on holiday in Norway: lovely, trusting – and pregnant. She threatens Hunt’s new way of life, insisting on marriage, so he forms a plan to get rid of her – permanently – and knows the perfect site to hide the body.
