A young man from poor beginning meets a former beauty queen and is smitten, as is she.  This is Romeo and Juliette level love, so much so they run off and get married in secret.

She thinks this is the start of the lies, but it has been going on for years.

It takes years of dogged detective work by the family and authorities to finally reveal who this man was inside.

He was not the respectable upstanding Doctor he portrayed, but a liar, a thief and finally a murderer.
