Synopsis
Danny, a bellhop from a nearby hotel, arrives at the Bramson bungalow and quickly insinuates himself into the aged owners affections. The niece of the owner firmly believes she hates Dan, but as a matter of fact she is facinated by him beyone measure. Dan is selfish and selfcentered with no feelings and a vast imagination. But, is he only acting for his own edification or is he actually a very dangerous pyschopath?
