Synopsis

[The following plot summary is based on the Spanish-language version of this film, El secreto del doctor ; character names refer to that version.) Lillian Garson, a woman of noble English ancestry who is married to a commoner, has written a letter to her husband, ending their marriage. She intends to take a trip to Egypt with her lover, Hugo Colman, who is from the same social class as she. However, just as they are about to leave, Colman is killed in an automobile accident. On the advice of a doctor friend, Lillian hurries to recover the letter to her husband. After destroying the evidence of her unfaithfulness, Lillian continues her life as if nothing has happened.
