(There are Spoilers) Having a lot of things on his mind William Everest, Richard Dix, stumbles across a well traveled city street and almost gets run down by a speeding car. Hitting his head against a lamp-post Everest completely loses his memory and stumbles into this Greenwich Village night club "The Salt Shaker" to get a drink. It's there where his future is uncannily foretold by Jean Lang, Janis Carter, in a deck of cards that she's playing with: Everest the cards predict has just 24 hours left to live.
Leaving both her sister Frankie played by Jeff, a strange first name for a girl, Donnell and her boyfriend Charlie, Loren Tindall, Jane follows Everest outside in order to keep him from his date with death. Not knowing who Everest really is, since he doesn't know himself, Jean calls him "George" and the two try to figure out his true identity. Looking through "George's" pockets Jean comes up with a number of clues that eventually leads to who he really is. The strange clues include a skeleton key and receipts for a bouquet of flowers and birthday cake as well as a doctors perception and railroad schedule and most of all a Canadian dollar bill with a car license plate written on it! Spending most of the evening together tracking down the clues the two soon fall in love with each other and George ends up staying the night with both Jean and Frankie in their apartment.
George besides being a real dreamboat, in Jean's eyes, also turns out to be a great cook in his God-given ability in frying perfect sunny-side up eggs as well as him being a perfect gentleman; he also says grace before meals. This has the very suspicious Frankie, who's not as turned on by "Gerorge" as her sister is, to soon fall heads over heels for him as well. There's only one slight imperfection, that goes almost unnoticed by the two women, about this "George" that's very disturbing! Any living thing that he touches, parrakeet's kittens and squirrels, suddenly and mysteriously die!
It doesn't take long to realize, with the exception of the love and star-struck Jean, that "Geroge" is bad news to anybody that he comes in contact with and that includes Jean Lang who by then really should have known better.
Without giving away any more of "The Power of the Whistler's" storyline Jean's cards did in fact predict "George", or William Everest's fate. ***SPOILER ALERT***It was only too bad that Everest, an escaped and on the loose psycho from a local mental institution, came across so likable and friendly at the beginning of the movie. Knowing who and what he is would have saved a number of our innocent and fellow living creatures, I can't remember Evererst or "George" murdering any human being in the movie, from the horrible fate, by him poisoning the sweet and lovable little critters to death, that he had in store for them.
