New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.
Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.
Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.
Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."
想知道到底有多少美国的高中真正能做到如此的民主开放
作为一部普普通通的校园青春片，主演没什么个人魅力可真是要命。
普通的剧情，所有角色和关系都按照普通美国高中生设置的。
我要这个妈 我要这个学校 我要这群朋友 我要这样明确的目标……呜呜……我要做什么才能把我发射到这个宇宙。女主角有些画面好像苏芮琪。
最后居然是男主儿时送给女主的礼物，被甜到了。其他各方面都是中规中矩，及格线
虽然但是，拉拉正逐渐走进校园青春片，正是因为normal，反而会觉得受众群体会更大
有一些人会专门挑性少数影视故意打低分，我只有一个祝福:希望你们的孩子是性少数🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
incredible! I mean the painting
前面的轻松气氛直接让我联想到相同题材的《爱你，西蒙 Love, Simon》了。艺术生的故事我太熟辣啊哈哈哈哈。CalArts真是梦中情校之一呀！！我做这样的作品集也能让我去吗哈哈哈？虽然电影中好像只是CalArts的夏校项目。还有墙绘部分也想到了上个月观看的《真心半解 the half of it》。青春校园同性片真的很喜欢墙绘这类plot！或者别的艺术形式咯。（豆瓣是叫《悸动》呀，我看的中文版是《心烦意乱》。）看到别人的短评想到了什么，我再补充一句：这个妈妈真的好酷呐！！！！！
开始诗音问悟美，你现在幸福吗，我还觉得很奇怪，但揭开后却是满满的感动，结局很浪漫
笑点倒是密集。
不错的校园轻喜剧 最后告白part有点感动！双向暗恋是最甜的！好看的女同片
故事非常新颖，人类与ai互相寻找对方的感人故事，喜欢听歌剧喜欢迪士尼风格的不要错过
虽然主角是AJ和P，但是我觉得P跟AJ姐姐更好磕啊怎么回事🥵果然我是个颜狗
永远不敢主动搭讪自己的心仪对象。
女二女三是亲姐妹这个设定没必要 真的没必要
和我喜欢《真心半解》的理由一样，同性恋的生活可以不用那么神秘，和异性恋一样有苦也有甜俗套但可爱。
剧情属实很俗套了，特别美式青春校园
坦率面对自己和他人，勇敢传达内心的真实想法。
how is it supposed to be a little cute lesbo movie but also came out in an EXTREMELY MALE GAZED WAY?????????
