Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Robert Loggia is cast as New Orleans pianist Tom Brandt, who in an alcoholic rage kills his girlfriend with a broken bottle. After the police arrest a drunken derelict for the crime, Tom figures he's in the clear. But before long he is haunted by a perverse form of "stigmata", causing his hands to soak everyone he touches with blood...and not his own blood. Appearing as Tom's fellow musician Johnny is famed jazz trumpeter Pete Candoli.
