Plot

George Mallon is released from prison and placed in a "halfway house" run by Tom Daniels where all residents are ex-convicts. He does not fit in and keeps to himself.

He goes across local wild woodland known as "The Flat" to a pub and drnks alone. The next day a young blonde is found dead on the Flat by a young girl walking her dog. The police immediately suspect George. Mrs Foster goes to the police with her 17-year-old daughter Lily complaining of a lost item on the Flat.

George is found a job as a delivery driver for Ercol furniture. He starts a relationship with a bonde and they start dating. In a coffee shop she finds out he is an ex-con and stomps off. She is later found dead on the flat. Meanwhile, George takes a train to see his mother, who lives in a large villa. She disoens him and he only stays a few minutes. The goes back to the pub near his lodging. There he recognises another ex-con, Chopper Jack, just released. The latter is planning to join George's fellow residents on a crime, but George is not in the circle. George gets very drunk with Chopper and staggers home.

The police spot that both murders were on a full moon. They place an undercover policewoman, Sgt June Lock, in George's workplace. She is young and blonde and they hope to bait George. He starts dating her but on the night of the next full moon, when they were meant to go to the cinema, he says he has a headache and wants to go for a walk instead.

It is very foggy and they go into the Flat. George hears something and leaves her alone while he investigates. She sits on a log. A pair of arms grab her from behind and start to strangle her. It is unclear who it is until George returns and starts fighting the assailant. The police arrive and initially arrest George as the assailant says he was the rescuer. But scratch marks on his cheek prove who the real assailant was.
