Summary
When Louise Mériadec suffers a near-fatal heart attack,
hypnotherapist Pierre Laurent brings her back from the dead simply by
placing his hands on her. Madame Mériadec’s neice
Isabelle, a fashion designer, is grateful for Laurent’s intervention
and, finding him attractive, allows him to treat her recurrent
headaches. When she overhears Laurent admitting that his
treatment is partly a fraud to an old medical student acquaintance,
Isabelle abandons her new idol and returns to Paris. Laurent is
aghast when he later learns that his young admirer is afflicted with a
brain tumour...
