Actress Jessica Wells plans her comeback after a three-year absence from the theater, but her husband Vance, missing and presumed dead, shows up and immediately she is under his trance-like spell; Vance wants the profits from her return to acting. Jessica's brother Damon, also an actor, formulates an outrageous plan to put an end to Vance's "Svengali" control once and for all.
