Lord Arthur Savile recibe una fuerte impresión durante una fiesta a la que acude junto a su prometida. Un quiromántico lee en su mano que va a cometer un asesinato. Como no hay nada como el deber cumplido, lord Arthur decide posponer su matrimonio para después de cometido el crimen e inicia una estrategia urgente para matar a algún familiar próximo, camuflando el delito como si fuera un accidente.
