New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.
Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.
Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.
Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."

孙道临演得真好，现在有些小鲜肉的演技连那些老演员的脚趾头都比不上。
2、没有在最后关头难舍难分
跳跃性如此之大的故事……而且感觉完全是不必要的牺牲啊……
在中国，永远离不开国产战争片的影子，每次战争，敌方永远都是像个傻子，三星给演员。
新中国的成立，是因为有了千千万万个像“李侠”这样甘于奉献，勇于牺牲的烈士的付出。他的存在如同一块“砖”，哪里需要往哪搬，不仅爽快接受新任务，还能对新人“兰芬”在革命情感和业务上进行传帮带。演员的年龄和剧情虽然距离现在有段时间，但他们真实的演技、真挚情感的融入却把那段岁月栩栩如生地带到观众“面前”。“电波”就像一颗革命的种子，是火把，是光明，更是希望。一个“李侠”倒下了，背后还有千千万万个“李侠”前赴后继。我想，正是因为心怀“革命必胜”的信心，所以李侠烈士在被捕时可以面带微笑地说出“同志们，永别了，我想念你们”的话语。特别喜欢最后的那段蒙太奇，浪漫而生动，升华了整个主题。
一方面是家国大爱。一方面是可以将后背交付的爱情。虽死犹生。
王心刚遇到孙道临，当然只能是反派了。上海多迷人！2021-10-11彩色修复版，上海更加迷人，但人却没那么迷人了，脸上像涂了厚厚的油彩。死气沉沉的。
孙道临好美好美好美好美！！真想穿越回在村头打麦场放电影的时代，一遍一遍看了又看。
比想象中好看不少，除了被剧作、真挚而伟大的革命爱情和无畏的献身精神感动之外，还有一个原因就是它很像一部电影。我的意思是，在那个让电影承载了沉重而庄严的意识形态，更像是一个政治宣传品的年代，让一部电影很像一部电影，是非常不容易的。
2.姚苇对李侠有微妙的情感，基本可解释全片最大的bug
《延安颂》最让我伤感。
Barren life gives birth to firm faith.
最后报数时突然想起许三多是钢七连第4956个兵,一个个数字,多么有魅力.........
从头打到尾，血腥程度有达到珍爱和平的目的。摄影和特效比较拉闸，装造好评。文戏拉闸，总觉得一些地方能往深处挖人物的内心世界。
抗日背景弄得太假了，南京大屠杀了老蒋还投降个屁啊，1943年，日本都快完犊子了，还投降啥啊？
当黑白画面变得高清而又彩色时，我才知道，李侠离开监狱的那天，兰芬穿得是多么的好看。
孙道临爷爷是真帅，结尾是经典，没想到反派居然是王心刚
样板戏。时至今日也还在不断繁衍的后代一抓一大把。濒危物种需要抢救，这种基因强大的老电影没必要4k彩色化吧。
剧情紧凑又张弛有度，今天的和平是无数英雄们的努力和牺牲换来的。
