Robert Powell, newly arrived at the titular madhouse, listens to a succession of strange tales: Richard Todd chops up wife Sylvia Sims and is tormented by her individual body parts, which creep around wrapped in brown paper; tailor Barry Morse is hired by Peter Gushing to construct a magical suit which will revive the customer's dead son; neurotic Charlotte Rampling imagines (or does she?) a visit from bubbly murderess Britt Ekland; and nut-job Herbert Lom gets his own back on Patrick Magee by projecting his mind into sinister little toy robots.
