Strange Fascination

Middle-aged European pianist Paul Marvan (Hugo Haas) is brought to America by wealthy widow Diana Fowler (Mona Barrie) and he soon meets and weds a canary-blonde named Margo (Cleo Moore), who is a nightclub dancing partner to Carlo (Rick Vallin). Margo's flirtatious behavior inflames Marvan, who is also disturbed over increasing financial and professional straits, since Diana, his wealthy sponsor was more than a little perturbed after Marvan married the little tramp. He thrusts one hand into a printing press in hopes of collecting $50,000 insurance, but payment is refused when it is disclosed his mishap wasn't an accident. Margo returns to Carlo, and Marvan finds refuge in a Salvation Army shelter, now playing the piano with one hand.
