'A baleful game of blind man's buff engages Ian Kane, a coincidental witness to the evidence of murder who then loses his eyesight in an accident and becomes the helpless target of his pursuant. His sullen fears and morbid fantasies become real when he is moved from the hospital to a rest home, loses his nurse en route, and is then the prisoner of his enemies. His escape, in bandages, is painful and almost helpless until he removes them, regains his vision and finally his freedom...'
