But now he's found a new creature he'd like to possess: a lovely art student named Miranda Grey (Eggar). And with a little patience, Freddie manages to bag his prey using a handkerchief soaked in chloroform. He brings Miranda to his isolated farmhouse and holds her prisoner, all the while trying to convince her to love him. Miranda has little hope of ever enjoying her freedom again but she'll do everything she can to get out alive.
