The victims of an encephalitis epidemic many year ago have been catatonic ever since, but now a new drug offer the prospect of reviving them.
A new doctor finds himself with a ward full of catatonic patients. He is disturbed by them and the fact that they have been catatonic for decades with no hope of any cure. When he finds a possible chemical cure he gets permission to try it on one of them. When the firt patient awakes, he is now an adult having gone into a catatonic state in his early teen. The film then delights in the new awareness of the patients and then on the reaction of their relatives to the changes in the newly awakened.
