Tony Musante, best known for the television series Toma, portrays an American who witnesses the murder of a woman at a trendy Rome art gallery.

Based on a story by Byron Edgar Wallace, Bird and hints at the flamboyance which would become Argento's trademark.
This and Argento's subsequent two films Il Gatto a Nove Code and Quattro Mosche di Velluto Grigio were much less horror-oriented than his later work.
