Rosa Moline (Bette Davis) is the dissatisfied, restless wife of Lewis, a small-town Wisconsin doctor (Joseph Cotton). She is easily bored, uninterested in her husband's career or in anything to do with her current circumstances. She has long desired a glamorous life, in a world where she can have expensive things and meet truly interesting people. For over a year, she has been having an affair with Neil Latimer (David Brian), a Chicago businessman who owns the local hunting lodge. Tired of waiting for him to ask her to marry and move to Chicago, Rosa extorts money from Lewis', patients - who often do not have cash but pay him in produce or in other non-financial ways - to finance her trip to the city.
