Double Indemnity takes us through the story of insurance salesman Walter Neff and femme fatale Phyllis Dietrichson. In this film we see the two main characters meet at the Dietrichson home, where Neff and Phyllis spark immediate chemistry. As the film progresses we see the relationship between the two characters develop. The "hero" character Neff is convinced by Phyllis Dietrichson, to include himself in her plans to create life insurance papers in order to gain a large some of money for the death of her husband. The story continues through the murder of Mr Dietrichson by Walter Neff, and the events leading up to Neff’s confession to the police.
The story runs in a non linear narrative, we know this because it doesn’t run in chronological order, the main character Walter Neff, tells the story through a series of flashbacks and explanations, with the film ending in the same place where it had opened.
