A doctor (Julin Soler) embezzles the proceeds of his Parisian clinic in order to better support the manipulative woman (Mara Flix) with whom he is having an affair. After losing all the money while gambling, he is forced to flee to an undeveloped region of India. There, he tries to mitigate the onslaught of a disease the natives term "Amok", while his past mistakes still plague him, especially when a mysterious woman, Mrs. Belmont (Mara Flix), appears in his office.
