He had gotten into in accident as a photographer so he is laid up with a broken leg. Since his injury to pass the time a nurse and his fashionable model girlfriend Lisa would come by. Jeffries would stare through the rear window of his apartment because of his boredom around his courtyard. As he watched his neighbors, Miss Torso, Miss Lonely hearts, Lars Thorwald , who is saddled with a nagging, invalid wife. One afternoon, Thorwald pulled down his window shade, and his wife's incessant bray comes to a sudden halt.There was a loud scream that I had thought was just an accident but L.B. didn't. So Jeffries casually concocts a scenario in which Thorwald has murdered his wife and disposed of the body in gruesome fashion. Trouble is, Jeffries' musings just might happen to be the truth. As days had past Jeffries had gathered more evidence of this crucial incident such as Thorwald having long knifes, having his wife's ring, a big crate strapped up, the death of the dog and the change of the flowers height. But one night L.B had got caught spying up on him so Thorwald went to his apartment and started beating him up and trying to throw him out of the window. Before he could the police came and arrested him and he gave into the murder of his wife.
