Wrongly confined to a mental asylum, a young woman works to makes conditions better for the inmates who live under the iron rule of Master Sims.

The work of William Hogarth served as inspiration for the overall look of this film. Lewton cites specific pieces like "Harlot's Progress" and "John Wilkes" in the screenplay. The University of Wales Lampeter hosts the very comprehensive Hogarth Archive .
