The film tells the story of a journalist who gets himself committed to a mental hospital in order to track an unsolved murder. Peter Breck plays journalist Johnny Barrett, who thinks the quickest way to a Pulitzer Prize is to uncover the facts behind a murder at a mental hospital. So, he pretends to go insane and is locked up in the institution. While pursuing his investigation, he is sidetracked by the behavior of his fellow inmates. During a hospital riot, Breck is straightjacketed and subjected to shock treatment. Breck begins imagining that his exotic-dancer girlfriend (Constance Towers) is his sister. By film's end, one is not sure whether he is still pretending to be crazy.
