The film tells the story of a psychiatrist, Dr. Cross, (Vincent Price,) who is treating a coma-bound young woman, Janet Stewart (Anabel Shaw.) Also starring Lynn Bari as Dr. Crosss nurse/lover, Elaine Jordan.
As Stewart comes out of her stupor she recognizes Dr. Cross as an evil doer but then takes her to his sanitarium and at Elaines urging, gives Janet an overdose of insulin under the pretense of administering shock therapy. He cant bring himself to murder her in cold blood, though, and asks Elaine to get the medicine to save her. Elaine refuses, they argue, and he strangles her. Dr. Cross saves Janets life, but now faces two murder charges.
