Synopsis

Saxophonist Fred Madison and his wife Renee are troubled by a series of videotapes left at their door that show someone entering their house and filming them while they sleep. Then Fred receives a videotape of himself standing over Renee's slaughtered body and comes around to find himself sentenced to the electric chair for her murder. But prison authorities then inexplicably find mechanic Pete Dayton in Fred's cell and Fred nowhere to be found. Baffled, they are forced to let Pete go. Pete returns to work but there is drawn into the schemes of a mobster Mr Eddy and attracted to his girlfriend, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Renee.
