Shock Treatment

A private detective takes on a hard job. A large sum of stolen money is missing. The amount is a million dollars. The trail leads to a patient. The man is in a psychiatric hospital. The detective wants to learn where the money is. To do that he passes himself off as a patient. He has himself committed. Conditions inside are harsh. The treatments are severe. The staff keep the patients at a distance. The detective has to keep up his part. At the same time he has to find the man he is looking for. As time passes the outside world grows distant. Holding on to who he is becomes harder. Stuart Whitman and Carol Lynley appear in the ninety four minute film, an American production Denis Sanders finished in 1964.
