The brother of a recently deceased woman travels to a remote Spanish castle to find out the details of her death. A nervous Vincent Price is the head of the household. It turns out his sister isn't really dead, but tormenting Price in order to drive him insane and run away with her lover. The plan backfires, as Price reverts to the personality of his father, a brutal member of the inquisition who keeps a torture dungeon in the castle. The final scene, with a giant swinging pendulum, is justifiably famous, but it takes awhile to get there.
