This confusing psychological drama deals with newlywed Richards who, suffering amnesia, returns with her husband Conte to her old family home. Her mental condition is the result of her shock at having seen her aunt, Bari--onetime lover of her new husband--murdered by an unknown assailant
in the family swimming pool. Befriending Garner, the nephew of caretaker Kemmerling, she explores the estate with him. Her memory returns as a result, and she inquires about the whereabouts of her late aunt's retarded son, who, unknown to anyone, was fathered by Kemmerling. (Are you with us so
far?) In an unrelated subplot, Conte is arrested for fraud, clearing the way for Richards...
