A young man, disfigured in a fire and living like an animal in a condemned building, rescues a lonely young woman from an attacker. She is mystified when he will not show his face and follows him into the night, where he shows her the people he watches at night and wishes he could join. She finally convinces him to let her see him, and he reluctantly agrees to meet her in the daylight, but before he can he is himself arrested as the attacker.
