Synopsis

James Stewart stars with Farley Granger and John Dall in a thriller inspired by the real-life Leopold-Loeb murder case. Two friends strangle a classmate for intellectual thrills and throw a party for the victim's family and friends, with the body stuffed inside the trunk they use for a buffet table. As the killers turn the conversation to committing the 'perfect murder', their former teacher (Stewart) becomes increasingly suspicious. Before the night is over, the professor will discover how brutally his students have turned his academic theories into chilling reality.
