Synopsis: 'The Psychic' follows the chaotic life of Adam Webster, a down-on-his-luck writer, who has put a sign in his apartment window, in desperation to make the rent: "Psychic Readings $25." The sign soon draws the interest of the lovely and conflicted Laura, her shady husband Roy, Roy's mistress Rita, a gangster named Johnny Bubbles, and ace Detective Norris Coslow.
