A Welsh psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Maxwell on the Riviera in France has discovered a way of electronically helping people with their problems by inducing soporific visions into their minds but some of his patients die from the process. An insurance investigator from the USA Jeff Keenan goes out to Cannes as one of his clients went to Dr. Maxwell' clinic and the insurance company aren't satisfied with his death, a lot of money being involved. Also the owner of the clinic Paul Zakon wants to use Dr. Maxwell's therapy treatment for more nefarious purposes. That is for brainwashing purposes. Zakon is supported by Dr. Hoff, a sinister neo-Nazi scientist.
It has all the ingredients for a real thriller but doesn't quite summon up much excitement. The induced dream sequences are yawn worthy if not laughable. Imported American actor Rod Cameron as Keenan is dull as is Mary Murphy as the female lead. Much better are Meredith Edwards as Maxwell, Peter Illing as Zakon and Carl Jaffe as Dr Hoff. Also mention must be made of the under rated Kay Callard as Maxwell's clear headed wife Laura. It all ends with explosions and fires but that's about all the fizz there is.
