La tua bocca brucia (1952)
Un pilota di linea, Jed, viene abbandonato dalla fidanzata, la cantante Lyn, la quale lo accusa di essere cinico. Dalla stanza di albergo nella quale alloggia intravede nell'appartamento di fronte un'avvenente baby sitter che desta la sua curiosità. Decide di telefonarle e di andarle a fare visita nella sua camera. Una volta conosciuta, Jed scopre che Nell è la baby-sitter della piccola Bunny, anche lei ospite dell'hotel insieme ai suoi genitori. Nell è molto attratta da Jed, che le ricorda il fidanzato morto in un incidente. Ben presto, però, Nell inizia ad avere dei comportamenti bizzarri e Jed viene a conoscere la verità sul conto di lei: la ragazza, nipote di un impiegato dell'albergo, Eddie, è stata da poco dimessa da un ospedale psichiatrico e suo zio le ha trovato quell'impiego temporaneo. Un tempestivo intervento di Jed eviterà una tragedia, e il dramma umano di cui è testimone farà svanire la sua apparente insensibilità.
