A classic film noir thriller about manipulation and false accusation, where a woman's vulnerability to hypnotic suggestion becomes the instrument of her entrapment.

The wife of a psychoanalyst falls prey to a devious quack hypnotist when he discovers she is an habitual shoplifter. Then one of his previous patients now being treated by the real doctor is found murdered, with her still at the scene, and suspicion points only one way.
