The gripping tale of a blind woman confronted in her apartment by three criminals with an incredibly elaborate and sinister scheme. One of the first true jump-out-of-your-seat thrillers.
This thriller about a blind woman terrorized in her own home builds to a crescendo of high suspense. A doll containing a fortune in heroin is planted in Susy Hendrix' apartment and a ruthless criminal is desperate to get his hands on it. Through a series of ruses, the guy manages to get rid Susy's husband and trap her alone in the apartment. But as their spine-chilling cat and mouse game reaches its climax, his blind victim proves to be an elusive and formidable match.
