文森特·帕里（Vincent Parry）是一名被判谋杀富妻的罪犯，他藏在一辆卡车的后面，成功从圣昆廷州立监狱（San Quentin State Prison）越狱。影片以大胆的第一人称视角开场，让观众在最初的30分钟内通过帕里的眼睛看世界。直到后来，他的脸才被揭露。卡车停下后，他被年轻的艺术家艾琳·詹森（Irene Jansen）发现，艾琳从报纸报道中认出了他。艾琳的父亲曾被错判谋杀并处死，她因此决定帮助帕里逃避法律的追捕。

她将他藏在旧金山的公寓里，在那里他得知警方由肯尼迪探长（Detective Kennedy）带领，正在积极搜捕他。与此同时，帕里已故妻子的富有且痴迷的朋友玛姬·拉夫（Madge Rapf）似乎下定决心要将他重新逮捕。帕里决定改变自己的外貌以避免被捕。他联系了沃尔特·科利医生（Dr. Walter Coley），一位技术精湛的整形外科医生，科利同意在一个秘密手术中为他进行面部重建手术。手术很成功，但帕里必须戴几周的绷带，这让他变得很脆弱。

在康复期间，他结识了健谈的出租车司机萨姆（Sam），萨姆成为了他意想不到的盟友。当绷带被揭开，博加特（Bogart）的脸首次显露时，帕里开始调查他妻子的谋杀案。他发现真正的凶手可能是他身边亲近的人。艾琳的朋友鲍勃（Bob）开始怀疑她与一名逃犯有染。玛姬加紧了追捕，威胁说除非帕里按照她的意愿行事，否则就揭露他。故事逐渐走向高潮，帕里必须在充满欺骗、背叛以及与艾琳之间浪漫张力的复杂局面中洗清自己的罪名。[编辑]
