Output (English): In Edwardian London, in the summer of 1903, a Scottish shopowner in Fulham is stabbed to death and his shop set on fire by distinguished composer George Harvey Bone Laird Cregar, who stumbles out onto the street in a stupor. George eventually makes his way back the next night to his basement flat at 12 Hangover Square in Chelsea to find his girlfriend Barbara Chapman Faye Marlowe and her father Sir Henry Chapman Alan Napier inside. George admits privately to Barbara that there is a whole day missing from his memory. The newspaper has stories of the murder and fire, and George goes to see Dr. Allan Middleton George Sanders who works at Scotland Yard. Bone tells Middleton that when he is stressed or overworked he suffers from periods of amnesia brought on by discordant sounds. Middletons advice is to go out among ordinary people and observe how they work and recreate. On August 29 at a smoking concert at a working class pub, George meets an ambitious and conniving singer named Netta Longdon Linda Darnell through his buddy Mickey Michael Dyne. Although Netta, who also lives in the square, is a mediocre talent, George is enamored of her. Netta finds George boring, yet nonetheless mercilessly manipulates him to get money, dinners, drinks and all kinds of favors for months. Meanwhile Barbara is put off by Georges interest in Netta, as Middleton tries to get closer to her. George is driven to the point of having another amnesia episode and almost strangles Barbara to death. George finally strangles Netta to death on Guy Fawkes Night. He carries her wrapped body through streets filled with revelers and deposits it on top of the biggest bonfire. Ultimately, George plays his piano concerto, unmindful of the conflagration around him, as flames consume everything.
