Plot summary
In London, the stage hypnotist and ventriloquist billed as The Great Vorelli draws packed houses with an act built around a dummy named Hugo, who seems to speak and walk on his own, and he keeps Hugo in a locked cage. American journalist Mark English is assigned to write an exposé of the performer, and he asks his girlfriend, the wealthy heiress Marianne Horn, to come along. At another show Vorelli calls for a volunteer, and Mark urges Marianne to take part. She ends up on stage under Vorelli's hypnosis, dancing the twist. Mark wants a closer look at Hugo, so Marianne invites Vorelli to her aunt's charity ball.
