The Cat o' Nine Tails (1971) Synopsis

Franco Arnò, a former journalist, was blinded 15 years ago in an accident. He lives with and cares for his orphaned adolescent niece Lori, who acts as his eyes. Carlo Giordani is an investigative newspaper reporter. Arnò and Giordani meet when Giordani investigates a break-in at the Terzi Institute, which is located across the street from Arnò's home, and which does among other things research into genetics. One of their research projects investigates the chromosome makeup of people with criminally violent tendencies. In the act of the break-in, the night-watchman was knocked unconscious, and nothing was seemingly stolen, although the authorities and the administrators at the Institute believe it was a case of industrial espionage. Arnò and Giordani join forces when the case turns as one of the Institute's scientists dies in what Arnò is the first to determine was murder, the scientist who Lori saw was staked outside the Institute the night of the break-in. There are other subsequent deaths associated with the case and/or the Terzi Institute. As the two get closer to the truth, their and Lori's lives are in danger as the murderer knows they are on his/her tail. One of the key suspects is Anna Terzi, the seductively beautiful daughter of the Institute's head, Fulvio Terzi, who Giordani is nonetheless attracted to.—Huggo
