Suspense...

Philippa Shelly's operatic debut at Covent Garden was a tremendous sucess. Nicholas Talbot, her husband and manager, stops by her dressing room and tells her that an American tour is imminent, their future assured. But only seconds later, Elizabeth Rusman, a violinist with the orchestra shows up and Phillipa finds out she and Nick used to be lovers and Elizabeth is trying to renew that relationship. Once the couple arrives home, a fierce quarrel breaks out and Nick walks out. Instead of his return later, two police officers show up and tell her Nick has been detained in the questioning of a murder that has just occurred...the murder of Elizabeth Rusman.
