New York City police detective Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews) is investigating the murder of beautiful and highly successful advertising executive Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney). He interviews charismatic newspaper columnist Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb), an imperious, decadent dandy who relates how he met Laura, became her mentor, and used his considerable influence and fame to advance her career. McPherson also questions Laura's fiance, Shelby Carpenter (Vincent Price), her wealthy aunt, Ann Treadwell (Judith Anderson), and her loyal housekeeper, Bessie Clary (Dorothy Adams). Through the testimony of her friends and the reading of her letters, McPherson comes to know Laura and slowly becomes obsessed with her, so much so Lydecker accuses him of falling in love with the dead woman. One night, the detective falls asleep under her portrait and is awakened by the sound of someone entering the apartment. He is shocked to discover it is Laura. McPherson determines the murder victim actually was Diane Redfern, a model brought there by Carpenter while Laura was away in the country. Now it becomes even more urgent to unmask the murderer.
