Plot Summary

After heiress Jean Courtland attempts suicide, her fiancé Elliott Carson probes her relationship to John Triton. In flashback, we see how stage mentalist Triton starts having terrifying flashes of true precognition. His partner, Whitney Courtland, uses Triton's talent to make money; but Triton's inability to prevent what he foresees, causes him to break up the act and become a hermit. Years later, Triton has new visions and desperately tries to prevent tragedies in the Courtland family. Can his warnings succeed against suspicion, unbelief, and inexorable fate?

Trivia Early in the picture, a very humble John Triton is shown climbing stairs to his tenement. In the background is clearly shown the Los Angeles funicular railway, Angels Flight, a feature of Bunker Hill in downtown from 1901, running between the close-spaced buildings from Hill to Olive St, south of the entrance to the 3rd St tunnel. The tenements were eventually to fall to re-development, as did Angels Flight, which after a hiatus of about 27 years, was restored to service nearby on the hill. See more »
