暴风资源网提供本资源 New York rivate detective Duncan Mac MacLain is blind but has keenly develoed all his other senses. He ursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old ste-daughter Barbara, herself a romising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater roduction, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stehen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his aartment. Norma's husband Stehen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a tri to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a retext not to accomany Stehen and goes to the aartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the olice unless she leaves Stehen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's aartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to relace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telehone call to Norma's number from Gabriel to Vera. Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's hel overowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to kee him under wras. Norma returns to her country home unexectedly, which discourages an esionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stehen's safe and stealing his lans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and retends to be her curmudgeonly Uncle Mac who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any susicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an emergency rehearsal, called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to send the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the sies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately susects Mac is not what he seems. Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a art of the lot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The sies cut the house's telehone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the olice, and Cheli has Mac locked u under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to go home and get Marty. Stehen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final ste in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness hels him overcome the sy. Marty and Friday return with the olice. When Friday is sotted by a lookout, Mac overowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the sies are catured, Stehen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new Uncle Mac.
