The Call of Cthulhu, Pt. 3 - Madness from the Sea
Fred and Salina Clark, a handsome, wealthy young married couple living in New York City, find themselves running into problems after five years of happiness. Whether it is Salina's interfering mother, Minnie, or the fact that the honeymoon is over is difficult to say, but Fred seems to have lost much of his interest in Salina as a sex partner. On one occasion Salina makes a real effort and succeeds in arousing Fred, but Minnie interrupts them as they are about to consulate the marital act. Fred is disgusted, gets dressed and leaves the house. He wanders into Greenwich village and walks into a bar. Stud and Marcy Perkins, a young, hip, swinging couple who are also at the bar, start a conversation with Fred and before long they are speaking on intimate terms. They invite him to their apartment and induce him to join them in taking pot. They are all high and Stud and Marcy not only get undressed and start making love in front of Fred, but get him to join the party. As the "ménage-a-trois" progresses, Stud suddenly kisses Fred squarely on the lips. Fred hesitates for a moment before pulling away and feasting on Marcy. The next day, after quarreling with Salina who wants an explanation on where he's been. Fred decides to see Dr. Pauline Flood, a psychiatrist who a friend had recommended. He tells Dr. Flood how troubled he is because he feels he really welcomed Stud's advances. He also discusses other problems such as his very unhappy youth and his fear of his never having children and his current problem with his mother-in-law Minnie. We discover Stud and Marcy are part of a group of misfits of the lowest order, sadists, masochists, lesbians, and that they took pictures of Fred being intimate with Marcy, of the kiss between Fred and Stud, etc., and that they plan to blackmail Fred. At home, Fred and Salina argue over Salina's mother, and Fred goes out again when Minnie comes over. Minnie finds Fred's address book with Marcy's address and insists Salina go at once to investigate. She does but gets lost in a run down section of New York's East Village. She runs into two hoodlums who attack and rape her. When Fred and Dr. Flood get together next day, they find that they are mutually attracted. Not because of this, but because it will help restore his manhood, Dr. Flood agrees to have a one time only affair with Fred. It does seem to have the 'effect on Fred that Dr. Flood hoped it would. She now tells him that most of his troubles are over and that if he gets rid of his mother-in-law that things should be okay. Fred goes home and kicks Minnie out. Stud calls on Fred, shows him the pictures and threatens to show them to the brokerage firm Fred works for, as well as Salina, unless Fred meets him and others at a secret rendezvous the next night. Fred goes. There is a wild orgy with all sorts of abnormal acts, sex and otherwise, going on. The leader of the group demands $5,000 in cash. Fred attempts to escape from the place, but he is captured after a brief chase down the dark streets and is brutally beaten by Stud, Marcy and the other degenerates until he is completely bloodied and bruised beyond recognition, and then left for dead in the alley. Six months later. Minnie, having stayed with Salina to help her physically and emotionally recover from her sexual attack, is annoyed that her daughter is growing more concerned about Fred's disappearance for the past six months. Salina is worried that something might have happened to him or he may be dead. But Minnie suggests to Salina that Fred might have run off with another woman and that they should forget about him. Meanwhile in the final scene, Fred is shown, wondering aimlessly along the Bowery, dressed like a derelict, but having no memory about who he is and how he got to living on the streets. Fred, as a result of his near-fatal head injuries, is the victim of amnesia, and with no money or identification on him, he is apparently stuck in this worse-than-death fate that has landed for him.
