简介:New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.  Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.  Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.  Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."

简介:《守护者》由瑞安·怀特 (《审判八号提案》、《披头士女助理》) 执导。这部精彩的 7 集纪录片讲述了巴尔的摩修女被害悬案和其中的恐怖秘密,以及她遇害后近 50 载仍挥之不去的痛楚。  记录片从修女凯茜·切斯尼克的失踪事件展开,她是巴尔的摩一位备受喜爱的修女,也是天主教会高中的教师,她于 1969 年 11 月 7 日失踪。大约两个月后,人们发现了她的尸体,时至今日,她的遇害仍是一桩悬案。  直到 90 年代,修女凯茜·切斯尼克曾经的一位学生 (一位匿名“无名氏”的女性) 说出了自己遭受高中牧师性虐待的可怕经历,这件案子才重新受到人们的关注。令人难以置信的是,该女子透露,在人们发现修女凯茜·切斯尼克的尸体之前,她曾被带到跟前接受警告“看看说别人坏话会有什么下场”。尽管有上述证据以及其他受害者和目击者的证词,但并没有人被追究责任,而且此事在巴尔的摩外鲜有报道。  通过走访数十人,包括修女凯茜的朋友、亲戚、记者、政府官员和决心找出真相巴尔的摩市民,怀特拼凑出事件的大体,不仅涉及受人喜爱的天主教会学校老师之死,还牵涉到神职人员性虐待、被压抑的回忆以及政府和宗教机构,他说:“说得好听点是 (政府和宗教机构) 过去 45 年存在失职,说得难听点就是他们隐瞒了事实真相。”
