Horror anthology. Architect Walter Craig (Mervyn Johns) arrives at
country house Pilgrim Farm thinking that he has been hired to
remodel it. He finds the building strangely familiar, and upon

accident; teenager Sally O'Hara (Sally Ann Howes) dreams of a
Christmas party where she discovers a lone crying child; Joan
Courtland (Googie Withers) relates a story of an antique mirror

who vie murderously for the attention of a young lady; and the
final story features a ventriloquist (Michael Redgrave) whose dummy
comes to life.
