Supernatural horror anthology starring Mervyn Johns, Sally Ann Howes, Googie Withers and Michael Redgrave. When architect Walter Craig (Johns) arrives at the home of Elliot Foley (Roland Culver), he believes he has been invited there to discuss renovations. However, he finds the house strangely familiar and discovers that he recognises all of the other guests from a nightmare he previously experienced. One by one, the guests recount their own encounters with the supernatural: Hugh Grainger (Anthony Baird) dreams about recuperating in hospital after an accident and narrowly avoiding a second fatal crash; Sally O'Hara (Howes) met the ghost of a murdered boy at a Christmas party; Joan Cortland (Withers) bought an antique mirror with links to a murder; Foley recounts the story of two golfers who vied murderously for the attention of a young lady; and Dr. van Straaten (Frederick Valk) recalls his meeting with ventriloquist Maxwell Frere (Redgrave) whose dummy Hugo came to life and drove him mad.
