Plot

A man goes to a psychiatrist, complaining that he has been entering fugue states. Afterward, the man's fiancée visits the doctor to find out what's going on. He sends her away.
Later, the Crime Doctor sees the man dead — being carried by two thugs. No one knows anything and some question if the man was even dead. Meanwhile, we find that a mysterious woman hired the thugs to dispose of the body.
The Crime Doctor is on his own to find out what has happened. He investigates a nearby abandoned house where he is attacked by the two thugs who then flee. He tracks down the owner of the house whose daughter turns out to be the fiancée, Irene. We also learn that the mysterious woman is her estranged "sister," Natalie.
With the police, he sets up a trap to catch Natalie. But it is actually Irene with a blond wig and glasses.
