The Wall Street crash of 1929 brings tragedy to thousands, and only a small group of astute investors are able to retrieve their funds. Financial adviser Antonio Benson is one of the few to survive the disaster. He escapes from his ruined clients, whose funds he has mismanaged, by hiding out at his country home; however, someone finds him and kills him. The onscreen credits were taken from a cutting continuity. This film is a Spanish-language version of the 1930 film The Benson Murder Case (See Entry), which was directed by Frank Tuttle and starred William Powell and Natalie Moorhead. The Spanish version had two working titles: Juego, amor y sangre and El crimen de Wall Street.
