Three years after the mysterious abduction of his girlfriend while the two were on vacation, a man tracks down her kidnapper. The abductor, a seemingly normal professor who contacts the young man through the mail, is actually a cold-hearted clinician of terror. When her kidnapper promises to reveal the location of his lost loved one, their confrontation explodes.

After three years of searching for his mysteriously abducted girlfriend, a man tracks down the kidnapper who has been sending him mail, and confronts him.
