Synopsis In World War II, the airman Toby Jugg is
hit in the spine during an airborne attack and he becomes
paraplegic. His aunt-in-law Julia Jugg is his only relative
and sends him to rest in a clinic in the countryside. Toby is
in love with Julia and writes several letters to her but she
does not respond. Toby is haunted by shadows and bugs and Dr.
Hal Burns, who is responsible for his treatment, complains
that Toby does not open his feelings to him. One day,
one intern goes to the town and brings a letter
from Julia to Toby, and he finds that Dr.
Burns is hiding his correspondence. When Julia is
informed, she comes to the clinic to stay with Toby that
seems to be mentally ill. One night, Dr. Burns
gives a razor to Toby and tells him to do
the right thing, trying to induce him to commit suicide. But
late night Toby discovers the secret of Julia and
Hal. |
