Walter comes to and suffering a concussion and deep confusion from feeling betrayed by Irene hides out in a small Midwest town until guilt and peer pressure force him to go back to San Francisco and tell his story to the Police. But by the time Walter returns to San Francisco a clever detective Lieutenant Quincy (Charles Coburn) has uncovered some facts about Irene and her cousin' Jim. The police have been holding Irene for the murder of her husband Walter but release her considering that Walter was hiding out because he had killed Jim.

如何评价《碎玉溅飞花》
首先声明，我是真的挺喜欢这部《碎玉溅飞花》小片的，n刷过后我也看了一些导演和演员的相关采访，对这个电影也有了一些更深的感受和想说的话。这其实是于适自己在路演的时候对电影的形容，我觉得还挺准确的：他说这部电影就像一瓶冰镇过的橘子姜味汽水，一开始喝下去凉爽愉悦，但最后回味起来又会有点辛辣苦涩，我现在可以说就处在这个回味的阶段。
演技的好坏直接决定了剧中人物能否和观众产生共鸣。一个好的演技能够将剧本里的人物活灵活现地展现在人们的面前，一个好的剧本如果没有一个好演技的人来塑造里面的人物形象，和一个烂片其实也相差无几了；同时，一个烂剧本，但是有一个好演技，可以将里面的人物塑造得淋漓尽致，即使剧本再烂，可能也坏不到哪里去。
