Based on the short story "If I Should Die Before I Wake" from author Cornell Woolrich, it is reminiscent of Fritz Lang's "M" which was intentionally re-made in Argentina a year later in 1953 as "El vampiro negro".

Lucho, a young and troubled prankster, finds himself the one possible lead to find the murderer who has killed one of his classmates and kidnapped another with the same intentions. But, no one will listen to poor Lucho. His frantic cries to help his classmate instead gets him expelled from school, making the relationship with his disappointed father even worse. His father, a 2nd class detective, is one of the local law enforcement agents who are looking into the recent child killings.
