British anthology set in an insane asylum, where psychiatrist Donald Pleasence presents the case histories of four patients to a skeptical Jack Hawkins. The stories are in the "comic book" style: predictable and juvenile, with some kind of twist, becoming more and more preposterous until all credibility is gone. In the first story, a little boy's imaginary tiger friend comes to life, in the second a man rides an old bicycle back in time, in the third Joan Collins is raped by a tree and in the final story a Hawaiian man serves his human sacrifice to her unsuspecting mother. The wraparound story contains a double twist ending, which you will see a mile away.
