Pretty Carol White is the naive British girl who steps off the plane in San Francisco where loafer and all-around creep Scott Hylands picks her up. Their brief relationship results in a pregnancy which White reluctantly has aborted. She later marries a politician and they have a child of their own. Hylands starts to show up in strange places and at first White thinks she is seeing things, but that ends when he walks into their house after being hired as a photographer. He breaks in one day and kidnaps the baby, demanding that she kill it to exact some sort of perverted justice. The police get involved leading to a final stand on top of a skyscraper straight out of Hitchcock. It's an exceptionally unpleasant story, though convincingly acted on San Francisco locations.
