Starring Sheila Hancock as Cynthia, Betty Marsden as Ida Carey, Terry Scully as
Albert Carey
with Victor Platt as George Soames

Bible-bashing Ida Carey languishes with the lodger in the back parlour while Albert, subjugated unloved son, practises clairvoyancy in the front, and dreams of marriage. Then, one windy evening, Cyn blows in, disrupts this bizarre household and introduces simple Albert to... well... the Devil and all his Mischief.
