[Starring] Michael Goodliffe as Lord Mountdrago, William Squire as Owen Griffiths, Cyril Luckham as Sir Philip Brandower, Yootha Joyce as Elvira, Paul Whitsun-Jones as Bracegirdle

In his reply to a maiden speech of a Welsh M.P., Lord Mountdrago makes the man the laughing stock of Westminster and almost destroys his political career. Then for Mountdrago the repercussions begin.

When the dreams have parallels in reality he seeks the help of a psychiatrist, but Mountdrago is beyond help and he decides to take revenge in a bizarre and horrific way.
