Melanie Daniels, une jeune mondaine, s'est éprise de l'avocat Mitch Brenner, qu'elle a rencontré chez un marchand d'oiseaux de San Francisco. Brenner, faisant semblant de la prendre pour une employée, lui demande des inséparables pour l'anniversaire de sa jeune soeur, Cathy. Le lendemain matin, Melanie se rend à l'appartement de Mitch avec les oiseaux et apprend qu'il est parti passer le week-end dans sa résidence de Bodega Bay. Elle décide de l'y rejoindre. Sur le canot à moteur qui la conduit vers Bogeda Bay, elle est attaquée et blessée par une mouette. Réconfortée par une amie de Mitch, Melanie est invitée à la fête organisée pour Cathy...

00:00Man and birds have been responsible for a great many advances in our civilisation.
00:05For example, the bird was the inspiration for the invention of gunpowder
00:09and it was his speed that brought about the development of the shotgun.
00:15But man has not been unmindful of his debt to the bird.
00:19We have honoured our feathered friends in many ways.
00:22We cage birds and show them off proudly in most of our zoos.
00:26And the turkey is traditionally our guest of honour at Thanksgiving.
00:33I suspect you never realised that if it weren't for birds,
00:37even some of our pastimes would suffer noticeably.
00:41Duck hunting, for example.
00:42Granted, bagging a fellow hunter can be diverting, but the supply is rather limited.
00:48I hope you don't mind if I have something to eat, but I'm rushed today.
00:53Hey, planning the lecture has been most educational for me.
00:58I've begun to feel very close to the birds
01:00and have developed a real sympathy for our little...
01:04What was I saying?
01:06Oh yes, I've come to feel very close to the birds
01:10and have come to realise how they feel when...
01:13I don't think I'll eat just now.
01:17Hardly proper with all of you here.
01:20Surely the birds appreciate all we've done for them.
01:25Don't you?
01:26Beautiful cage.
01:27Fresh water.
01:29No other birds to bother you.
01:31None of that blinding sunlight.
01:34Oh!
01:34Now, why would he do that?
01:39Must be serious.
01:41What on earth?
01:55They're coming!
01:56They're coming!
01:57They're coming!
01:57They're coming!
