Steve Cochran stars as Dave Culloran, a woman-hating cop who has much in common with the serial rapist he is pursuing. The drama is set in a bohemian coffee house in Los Angeles where beatniks gather to recite poetry and perform. The paths of the black-hearted cop and the black-gloved stalker converge when Culloran's wife is assaulted by the criminal, becomes pregnant and, not knowing which man is the father, must decide whether or not to keep the baby.
