Description Leonard Vole is arrested for the murder of his elderly friend Emily French, a woman who depended on his advice in managing her money. Because Emily made him her principal heir, not aware that he was a married man, things look bad for Leonard's defence. But the final blow comes when his wife, Romaine, agrees to testify, not in Leonard's defence, but as a witness for the prosecution.
