Anthology based on three stories by Edgar Allan Poe. In Morella, a widower's bitterness over his wife's death results in tragedy, while in The Case of Mr Valdemar, a man is placed in a state of suspended animation. In the Black Cat, a jealous husband takes a dreadful revenge on his unfaithful wife and her lover. Horror, starring Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Basil Rathbone and Maggie Pierce.

Three stories adapted from the work of Edgar Allen Poe: 1) A man and his daughter are reunited, but the blame for the death of his wife hangs over them, unresolved. 2) A derelict challenges the local wine-tasting champion to a competition, but finds the man's attention to his wife worthy of more dramatic action. 3) A man dying and in great pain agrees to be hypnotized at the moment of death, with unexpected consequences.
