The university student Walter Gilman moves to a very cheap room in an old boarding house. He becomes close to Frances Elwood, his next door neighbor, and her baby son Danny after saving them from a huge rat. While studying for his thesis, Walter listens to noises in the first floor, and finds the tenant Masurewicz praying and hitting his head on a chair.
