Psychiatrist Eric Fleming talks a serial killer down from a bridge so the police can capture him. Among the crowd watching is Nancy Malone. While the press makes a fuss over over the doctor, she approaches him to see if he can help her with her general dissatisfaction. He suggests dinner, but she wants a professional appointment, so they wind up doing both. Gradually he comes to realize that she thinks she is the reincarnation of Baroness Mary Vetsera of the Mayerling Incident, in which the lady and her lover, Crown Prince Rudolf killed themselves. He figures out why this is, but then she vanishes and the police come to him with a letter accusing him of wanting to kill her. They aren't fashed about it, just investigating.
Despite its title, W. Lee Wilder's movie isn't frightening, creepy, or anything but the sort of thing someone who was born in Vienna during the Empire might think is interesting when maudlin drunk. Lew Davies offers a score that consists of a warbling theremin and woodwinds in a minor key, and while Miss Malone is ok, Fleming talks like he is a television doctor peddling cigarettes. The script is by Wilder's son Myles, who had more success with television sitcoms. Ned Glass and Sid Raymond have tiny roles.
