Nijima, ouvrier marqué par l'assassinat de sa fille survenu six ans auparavant, rencontre un jour Iwamatu, un ancien ami d'enfance, qui lui propose de venir travailler dans son entreprise. D'abord réticent et dubitatif face au manque de précisions de l'offre, il finit par accepter motivé par une envie de changement. Il deviendra un acteur important d'une organisation aux méthodes criminelles particulièrement violentes. Pas exactement une séquelle de Serpent's Path (tourné quasi-simultanément à celui-ci et avec également Shô Aikawa en héros), Eyes of the Spider est une relecture intéressante centrée cette fois sur une organisation criminelle, dont l'univers si particulier est dépeint avec froideur mais aussi beaucoup de second degré.

Ce film de science-fiction est une dystopie, un voyage dans la vie des habitants d'une ville japonaise où surgissent des événements imprévus et déconcertants qui deviennent de plus en plus ingérables et traumatisants. Etsuko est mariée à Tetsuo qui travaille à l’hôpital. Miyuki est une enfant qui vient se réfugier auprès d'Etsuko en lui demandant de dormir chez elle car elle a vu un fantôme et en a peur, elle ne reconnait plus son père et le fuit. Conduite à l'hôpital, l'enfant est examinée par le Dr Makame, un nouveau chirurgien, qui dit que Miyaki a perdue le concept de famille et que c'est une forme d'amnésie inconnue. Survient Tetsuo le mari d'Etsuko à qui le Dr Makame tend la main et lui serre la main gauche en lui disant que désormais il sera son guide en lui indiquant les personnes à qui il doit observer puis prendre les concepts. Le Dr Makame est en réalité un extraterrestre qui a pris une apparence humaine en habitant un corps humain. Il s'approprie en premier le concept de la famille qu'il a enlevé au père de Miyaki qui de ce fait ne le reconnait plus et le fuit terrorisée ; en prenant son père pour un fantôme. Tetsuo fait ensuite rencontrer son ancien professeur au Dr Makame qui prend les concepts du passé puis du futur au vieux professeur qui s'écroule puis qui réveillé a perdu toute mémoire. Le Dr Makame revoit Etsuko qui reste insensible à sa captation de concepts et devra rester seule vivante, car elle est extraordinaire, lorsque l'invasion des extraterrestres aura lieu. Tetsuo guide ensuite vers d'autres japonais le Dr Makame qui leur prend les concepts de la haine, de la peur de la mort, etc. L'extraterrestre peut agir ensuite à distance et il finit par répandre la mort autour de lui. Tetsuo, son guide, ne peut s'opposer à lui, ni le tuer, ni le fuir, car il souffre alors de plus de son bras gauche malgré l'anesthésiant AccuPlus qu'il a dérobé à l'hôpital. Etsuko qui veut sauver Tetsuo par amour dit au Dr Makame qu'elle finira peut-être par l'aimer un peu car il ignore le concept d'amour. Elle tue à la fin le Dr Makame en lui déchargeant un révolver et celui-ci en mourant dit qu'il n'a pas compris assez le concept d'amour qui unit Etsuko et Tetsuo. Le couple survivant reste embrassé sur terre, mais un cyclone arrive avec des pluies torrentielles et l'invasion commence.

As Francis (Friedrich Feher) sits on a bench with an older man who complains that spirits have driven him away from his family and home, a dazed woman named Jane (Lil Dagover) passes them. Francis explains she is his "fiancée" and that they have suffered a great ordeal. Most of the rest of the film is a flashback of Francis' story, which takes place in Holstenwall, a shadowy village of twisted buildings and spiraling streets. Francis and his friend Alan (Hans Heinrich von Twardowski), who are good-naturedly competing for Jane's affections, plan to visit the town fair. Meanwhile, a mysterious man named Dr. Caligari (Werner Krauss) seeks a permit from the rude town clerk to present a spectacle at the fair, which features a somnambulist named Cesare (Conrad Veidt). The clerk mocks and berates Dr. Caligari, but ultimately approves the permit. That night, the clerk is found stabbed to death in his bed.

Jack dives into the water to help, discovering a dead man and a young woman, still alive, trapped inside the submerged car. He pulls her to safety and accompanies her to a local hospital. Jack learns that the driver of the car was the governor (and a presidential hopeful); the girl was an escort named Sally (Allen). Associates of the governor attempt to whitewash the incident by concealing that Sally was in the car, and they convince Jack to smuggle Sally out of the hospital with him.
