When a hypnotherapist offers to treat all Gordon's problems in return for just his help, the struggling copywriter is reluctant to involve himself with someone he fell out with at school.

He turns to Auger out of desperation but is bewildered and electrified when he begins to suspect that the hypnotist's intention is to teach him the secrets of hypnosis.
