Dramatizes the misfortunes of an injured veteran who thinks he is a homicidal maniac.
Steven Kenet is sent to the county psychiatric hospital for evaluation to determine if he is sane enough to be charged with murder. He has no memory of what happened, likely due to a pre-existing brain injury from the war. He undergoes "narcosynthesis" -- a light dose of sodium pentathol -- to help him remember what happened.
