In Napa Valley, Calif., devious Phyllis Hochen (Diana Dors) schemes to run away with her lover, San Sanford (Tom Tryon), and with the money of her husband, winery owner Paul (Rod Steiger). Evading the suspicions of Paul's mother, Emma (Beulah Bondi), and brother, Stephen (Arthur Franz), Phyllis takes advantage of the tension between Paul and his partner, Gino (Joe De Santis) -- who wants to sell their grapes to an outsider -- to plan Gino's murder and frame Paul.
