Academy Award winner George Sanders stars with beautiful Yvonne de Carlo and Zsa Zsa Gabor in this torrid drama loosely based on the life and mysterious death of Serge Rubenstein. When a penniless immigrant arrives in the United States, he cons his way to fame and fortune, cheating unsuspecting people out of their money along the way. But bad deeds lead to a bad end--and to the Death of a Scoundrel.
