Synopsis:
Liz Hale married her lawyer husband for his money, his penthouse and a houseboat that would have made Cleopatra the envy of the Nile. She schemes to eliminate her husband, Jerry, and his business partner, Stan Walker, to inherit the fortune. Inviting Margot and Lamont to the desolate salt marshes where the houseboat is docked for luxurious duck hunting, it was Liz’s hope that reliable witnesses to an “accident” would clear her good name. When a vicious swamp native name Zeke discovers her plan, he arranges for her security with the promise of payment. Jerry, however, shoots Zeke before becoming a victim and too many holes in her story lead Lamont to investigate. When Jerry is killed, Liz holds the shotgun and attempts to kill The Shadow, who knocks the weapon out of her hands and into the water. The game warden arrives to take Liz, the only surviving member of the murder scheme, into custody.
