Wait Until Dark

A drug-filled doll has disappeared from a London Flat.

Mike, Croker and Roat, three petty crooks, are pretty anxious to find it. They work out a highly involved plot to compel the owners to give away the whereabouts of the doll. The owner’s wife is blind, and once the crooks have lured the husband away their task should be easy, particularly as the only companion left to her is a little girl who lives in the flat above.

The crooks tell the blind woman a frightening story .. She becomes suspicious, using her ears to make up for what she lacks in her eyes. In the terrifying climax she makes use of the fact that in the dark the blind have an actual advantage over those who can normally see.
