Un jeune homme fait un mariage de raison pour renflouer l'usine familiale menacée par la faillite. Il part en train avec la jeune mariée, mais se laisse fasciner par une très belle femme qui semble vouloir échapper à un compagnon inquiétant. Elle le fait passer pour son cousin et le supplie de l'aider. Il quitte le train dans la neige et rejoint le couple à son hôtel, pour aider l'inconnue à s'enfuir. Elle avouera avoir laissé son compagnon tuer son mari pour la rendre libre. L'homme la menace, prêt à se dénoncer plutôt que de la perdre. L'arrivée de la police peut conduire au drame.
