A Gothic comedy, featuring a distinguished cast, and starring Leslie Phillips and Margaret Tyzack. Retired colonial army officer George Thacker has high hopes of recapturing his memories of an idyllic English village life after a lifetime of meting out justice in the Far East.

Worst of all, the ghost of his old flame, Edith, still haunts him, threatening both his marriage and his life.
