Major William Rogers becomes the new director of a home for the blind, and exploits his position to live in luxury with his [[German Shepherd]] Shane, while his drastic financial cuts to food and heating reduce the residents' quality of life. Rogers gets his comeuppance after he ignores the pleas of resident George Carter to both make the living conditions more bearable and later to get medical treatment for fellow resident Greenwood, who then dies from [[hypothermia]]. Carter, with the aid of Harry the cook who has also suffered, leads a revolt to subdue the rest of the staff before locking Rogers and Shane in separate rooms in the basement; and then they then construct a small maze of narrow corridors between the two rooms. After going over two days without food, Rogers is released and forced to find his way through the maze for his freedom, getting past one corridor lined with razor blades once Carter turns the lights on; but Rogers finds his last obstacle to be a ravenous Shane who does not seem to recognize him. He flees back towards the razors, only for Carter to turn the lights off. Rogers is heard screaming as the hungry dog catches up with him and kills him in a rabid frenzy.
