Summary
Professor Oscar Collins has dedicated his life to studying the
microscopic world. He hardly knows his nextdoor neighbours, a pop
photographer and a model named Penny Lane. One day, Collins
cannot help noticing a strange light on the hall that separates the two
apartments. Following this light, the scientist is drawn to watch
Penny as she poses for one of her photographic sessions.
Captivated by Penny’s youth and beauty, Collins finds he is spending
less of his time at his treasured microscope and becomes addicted to
spying on his alluring neighbour...
