So, we have Alvin Morlock, a second rate professor at a second rate college in central Massachusetts (the fictional Ludlow College). It seems Morlock went off to Providence, RI with a teaching buddy for a spot of "fun" (i.e. drinking and womanizing) over Christmas/New Year's break. Alvin takes up with a young woman named Louise. Realizing that she's no longer a tasty, young thing, Louise is looking for more security than a series of good times on the weekends. So, she contrives to get Alvin to marry her. The marriage doesn't go well, in part because Louise is a profligate spender. Eventually, Louise dies in some manner, and the investigators think Alvin murdered her to get rid of his slatternly spouse.
