Synopsis
Horribly disfigured when burned by a high-tension wire, electrical engineer Cronin Mitchell discovers that he has acquired powers which allow him to read minds and move objects. As a masked fortune-teller, he enters into a bargain with Ellen Parker, an ugly witch, becoming her lover in return for her giving him a handsome face. The combination of beauty and extrasensory power brings Mitchell fame. Accompanied by Ellen--who is beautiful to all but her lover--Mitchell is called to a Midwestern town to help the police solve a series of bewildering crimes. There, Ellen is wooed by playboy Dr. Alex Jordan, an ESP expert sent by federal authorities to observe Mitchell. Alerted by Ellen, Mitchell telekinetically causes Jordan's bedclothes to strangle him, but Jordon escapes. Mitchell predicts an attempt on his life by Maddox, a local police detective responsible for the crimes, but he is killed nonetheless when Jordan delays the police. After killing Maddox, Jordan sees Ellen as she really is and flees. She causes him to fall and burn his face, then offers to restore it in exchange for his love.
