A psychological thriller - Danny, (a charming psychopath) working as a
bellboy in a resort hotel has seduced Dora, the maid at Mrs. Bramson's
house. When called to account he charms Mrs. Bramson, who employs him as a
live-in handyman. The murder of the blond racy Mrs Chalfont at the hotel is

unspoken understanding grows between them) but continues to plot the murder
of Mrs. Bramson for her money. Danny and Olivia finally confront each other.
