The story

Dr. Julian Blair is engaged in unconventional research on human brain waves when his wife Helen is tragically killed in an auto accident. The grief-stricken scientist becomes obsessed with redirecting his work into making contact with the dead and is not deterred by dire warnings from his daughter Anne, his research assistant Richard, or his colleagues that he is delving into forbidden areas of knowledge.
