An American Army officer, Robert Mackenzie is laid up in a military hospital waiting for an operation. He has lost his sight due to a head injury. The medical types need to wait for the injury to heal before operating to repair his eyesight. Mackenzie is invited off base to attend a party at a fellow officer's place. He gets a ride but is dropped off at the wrong address.
He enters the house and stumbles over a dead body. The killers, Ronan O'Casey and George Pastell see that Mackenzie is blind, so they give him a belt on the head and dump him down a flight of stairs. Mackenzie wakes up in a hospital with assorted bruises etc. He tells everyone about tripping over a body but no one believes him.
Several months later he has his vision restored. He now spends his time trying to prove his story. He is soon mixed up with diamond smugglers, killers and a crooked aircraft mechanic, Gordon Jackson. Also in the mix are the father, John Le Mesurier and sister, Delphi Lawrence of a supposedly dead pilot.
