A young man inherits a remote Florida swamp mansion from an unknown uncle. He, his assistant and the estate executor arrive to see a figure crawling through a supposedly empty window. The sight of the intruder through the grimy pane hints at a lingering horror. As more staff gather, they sense an eerie presence.

When a frightened young woman rushes in, fleeing a knife‑wielding maniac, they realize danger lurks both inside and outside the house.
