The victim's Aunt Helen gets in touch with Geraldine's brother David and with Annie Jones, a 17-year-old girl from a nearby orphanage, who is said to have powers of extrasensory perception.

A sleepwalking Annie seems to be possessed by the dead woman's spirit, saying things like, "They won't let me rest."

David is arrested, and the body and soul of Geraldine had not been allowed to rest, now found in the car's trunk.

"[12] Critic Howard Thompson at the New York Times declares that the film is “a bore from start to finish, consistently inept and transparent.” Thompson names the producer, director and the scriptwriter as the “creative culprits” in the endeavor, adding rhetorically “why did anybody make this picture?”[13] Dixon suggests that any merits that The Eyes of Annie Jones might possess have not appeared with age: “The film remains stage-bound in a drab apartment for most of its length, and finally emerges as a plodding police procedural.”[14] Allowing that Richard Conte, as the “rackish embezzler” seeking his missing sister is “good,” Dixon disparages Francesca Anna’s acting as “flat, monotonous, and does little to enhance the film.” Dixon notes that director Reginald LeBorg did “not do as well as he might have with the material.”[15]
