Synopsis

Jacki and Julian, 20-year old twins who have been ignored by their parents, live alone in a house in London and share a very close attachment for each other. Their relationship is disturbed when they are invited to a party on a houseboat where a man named Clive pays a great deal of attention to Jacki. Julian, jealous of Clive, rejects Denise, a young woman thrust upon him as a substitute for his sister by James Harrington-Smith, a Member of Parliament. That night when Julian gets drunk, Clive escorts him to a homosexual orgy, takes photographs of him, and several days later tries to blackmail him. In desperation, Julian tricks Jacki into being an accomplice to Clive's murder. After the brutal murder, Jacki wanders aimlessly through London, suffering from shock and amnesia. The next day she finds Julian hiding from the police at the hotel where the orgy took place. She accepts his invitation to go to France, but he becomes suspicious and strangles her; he then holds her body and turns on a gas jet, waiting to die with her.
