Dead Man’s Eyes

Painter Dave Stuart is blinded after Tanya, his jealous model, switches his eyewash with acid. The accident occurs in his art studio as he works on a portrait. Tanya's manipulation is driven by her obsession with Dave, as she hopes to keep him all to herself.

Hayden, Heather's father, pledges to fund a corneal operation to restore Dave's sight but states the procedure can only take place after Hayden's death. The promise gives Dave a faint glimmer of hope despite his blindness. The arrangement foreshadows future ethical and emotional conflicts.

Hayden dies prematurely, and Dave immediately faces suspicion in the benefactor's death, complicating his already precarious situation. The police question him while he remains blind, casting doubt on his intentions. The case tangles personal and legal tensions around Heather and Tanya.

Dave tells Heather that he no longer loves her and wishes to break their engagement because his blindness feels like a burden to her. Heather is stunned by the confession, balancing love with the tragedy unfolding around them. The relationship's future becomes uncertain.

Tanya volunteers to be Dave's caregiver, revealing her secret love for him. She frames his handicap as a path to be near him, blurring the lines between care and possessiveness. Her intentions appear benevolent on the surface, though her motives are compromised.

Before the operation could proceed, Tanya steals Hayden's corneas, hoping to keep Dave blind and secure exclusive influence over his life. The theft sets off a chain of medical and criminal investigations. The act reveals the depth of Tanya's obsession and desperation.

Dr. Alan Bittaker suspects Tanya is behind the cornea theft and confronts her. Tanya admits taking the corneas but explains she did so out of a misguided wish to care for Dave, not to harm him. Bittaker records the admission and prepares for the transplant process.

Hayden's corneas are transplanted into Dave in accordance with his late father's wishes, but the operation initially seems to fail and Dave remains blind. The medical team is cautious, and the truth of the corneal replacement remains uncertain. The tension between science and treachery mounts.

Dave, who had defended Tanya earlier, begins to suspect her involvement in Hayden's death and the recent killings. He orders surveillance to monitor her movements, risking further betrayal and danger. Trust in the relationship frays as the truth begins to surface.

Tanya calls Heather and hints at knowing who the killer might be, but she is murdered by an unknown assailant before she can disclose more. The sudden death deepens the mystery and prompts fresh scrutiny of everyone around Dave. The murder elevates the stakes for those trying to solve the case.

The police chief, still suspicious of Dave, confronts him about Tanya's murder and tries to coax him into revealing whether he can see. He manipulates the situation to extract any hidden truth Dave might possess. The interrogation further isolates Dave from those he hoped to trust.

Dave returns to Hayden's killing scene to search for clues and is attacked by a mysterious man but manages to fight him off and escape. Heather arrives to find him shaken but alive. The attacker is later identified as Nick, who accuses Dave of the killings.

Dave confronts Dr. Alan Bittaker, claiming that Alan killed Hayden to regain Dave's sight so he could marry Tanya. He suggests Alan orchestrated the murders to clear the way for his own ambitions. The confrontation exposes a web of motives tied to sight, love, and control.

Alan confesses his guilt to Dave and then attempts to kill him with his cane, the same weapon used in Hayden's death. Dave dodges the blow and, to everyone's relief, his sight returns. The moment marks a dramatic turning point in the case.

Police storm in and arrest Alan after his confession is confirmed. Heather enters and rushes into Dave's arms, and they reaffirm their love for each other. The truth of the crimes is revealed, and the couple looks toward a hopeful future.
