Johnny (Slater) is a long-distance lorry driver returning to London from a provincial delivery, after having taken in a show by Joan Rhodes on the way.

Later, Johnny pulls in to a transport café to make a telephone call and buy a coffee. When he returns to his truck, the woman is gone.

A pair of newlyweds visit an old cottage for sale in the countryside, and listen to the housekeeper’s retelling of its macabre history. The previous owners had been menaced by paranormal activity, and when they called in a medium, discovered the apparition they’d seen was of an eccentric and vengeful scientist who once lived in the cottage. The scientist was obsessed with electricity, and when his unfaithful wife and lover unsuccessfully tried to murder him, he responded by electrifying the living room floor and fixtures and challenging the couple to escape.
