Synopsis

A man murders his stuttering wife and hears her voice accusing him. A psychologist friend recommends getting a parrot from South America that knows no English and leaving it in the room he hears the voice in. If the bird does not imitate the voice, then he knows he is just imagining it. The bird does imitate the ghost, however, and angry man lunges out the window attempting to silence it but falls to his death.
