A sinister con man and his cohorts have traced the location of a mysterious doll to the apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy. Not knowing that sewn inside are several grams of heroin, Sam had been persuaded by a strange woman to transport the doll across the border. When the woman is murdered, the situation becomes urgent. Through a cleverly constructed deception, the con man and his sidekicks convince Susy the police have implicated Sam in the murder, and the doll is evidence. Refusing to reveal its location, Susy realizes she is the victim of a bizarre charade. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues and, when darkness falls, she turns off all the lights leaving them to maneuver in the dark until the game ends.
