Reclusive aristocrat Vincent Price falls meets equestrian beauty Elizabeth Shepherd while on a fox hunt. They eventually marry against his better judgment, for he is still not over the death of his first wife, who bears a striking resemblance to his new one (also played by Shepherd). A black cat which freely roams the premises makes life difficult for everyone, probably because it is possessed by his first wife and is intent on ruining his new marriage. It all ends in flames, where Corman gets to reuse the footage of a burning house for the umpteenth time. Last, and least, of the Corman Poe Cycle, though the location shooting in and around a crumbling English priory adds authenticity.
