Plot – In Korea, a US patrol is imprisoned and conducted to Manchuria, where he is subjected to harsh treatments. The men lose their sense of reality and one of them, Raymond, kills two of his comrades. None of them will remember this fact. Once back home, Commander Bennett Marco feels upset but he cannot explain why. During the night he has nightmares, until he decides to look for Raymond, who in the meantime has received a medal for his bravery. Raymond lives with his mother and, amazingly, with the Korean soldier who caused their capture and now works in his house as waiter. The former commander doesn't take so long to realize Raymond, under suggestion, commits a crime every time he sees the Queen of Diamonds card.

- Eugenie Rose Chaney: Quite possible I was feeling more or less fragile at that instant.”“I keep telling you not to think! You're very, very good at a great many things, but thinking, hon', just simply isn't one of them.”
“My dear girl, have you ever noticed that the human race is divided into two distinct and irreconcilable groups: those that walk into rooms and automatically turn television sets on, and those that walk into rooms and automatically turn them off.
