He places the man under hypnosis while feeling furious with him, and the man dies while in the trance. Gregor is then convinced that he hypnotized him to death. Gregor is ridden with guilt and takes refuge in the residential quarters of a wax museum, owned by a friend, Valerie Monet (Tala Birell). Valerie, her niece Elena Verdugo, and Gregor former stage assistant, Maura Daniel (Evelyn Ankers) pursue him romantically. Something suspicious begins to happen when Valerie mysteriously disappears.
