Culver is a psychiatrist who uses hypnotism to treat his patients. When Carpenter, a test pilot, comes to see him complaining of blackouts that make his job difficult, Culver tries to mesmerise him into killing his wife.
Utrápený zkušební pilot začne chodit k psychiatrovi. Ten se ale zakouká do jeho snoubenky, a pokusí se ho proto v hypnóze přimět k vraždě vlastní manželky.
