A woman must contend with her family`s madness as she finds her own sanity in doubt in this thriller from British horror masters Hammer Films. After the death of her parents, Eleanor Ashby (Janette Scott) would seem a safe bet to inherit their estate, but at the funeral, she`s convinced that she has seen Tony (Alexander Davion), her brother who killed himself seven years ago. Eleanor`s other sibling Simon (Oliver Reed), who is inarguably alive, uses this as an excuse to contest the will, arguing that Eleanor is mentally unstable and an unfit heir. Simon`s claims cause Eleanor to wonder about her sanity, and in a moment of weakness she attempts suicide. Tony rescues her and tells her that he never died but simply went into hiding. He returns to the family`s mansion, but soon he and Eleanor become the subject of a number of violent attacks by a masked lunatic before Eleanor learns a surprising secret about Tony.
Dans la campagne anglaise, Simon partage avec sa sœur la demeure ancestrale de leur famille. Décidé à profiter seul de l’héritage de leur parents décédés, il cherche à la faire passer pour folle et à l’interner. L’apparition d’un homme mystérieux prétendant être Tony, leur frère décédé huit ans auparavant, va bouleverser ses plans.
