Le père de Jason Smith, sur son lit de mort, lui fait promettre de disperser ses cendres sur la tombe de sa femme, la mère de Jason, morte alors que Jason était encore très jeune. Jason accepte cette requête et doit de ce fait retourner dans le village natal de sa mère, là où elle est enterrée, là où il a lui-même vécu ses premières années mais dont il n'a presque plus aucun souvenir, ayant déménagé avec son père, à la suite de la mort de sa mère. Alors qu'il est dans le cimetière pour accomplir sa promesse, il remarque avec étonnement que presque toutes les tombes indiquent une date de décès identique, le même jour, le même mois, mais avec une année d'écart à chaque fois. Face à cette étonnante constatation, il fouille dans sa mémoire et lui revient alors un souvenir flou d'une loterie particulière qui se tenait dans ce village…

Marion (Jan-Michael Vincent), a Marine recruit during World War II is kicked out of the Corps and sent home in a blue fatigue uniform. As recruits sent their civilian clothes home or sold them, the Corps did not wish less than honorably discharged Marine recruits to wear a uniform they had not earned. In real life, the Marine Corps issued light blue uniforms used by Flying Cadets prior to Pearl Harbor; hence the name "Baby Blue Marine" for a failed recruit.

The Rolf family takes a summer-long vacation at a large, shabby neo-classical 19th-century mansion in the California countryside. The family consists of Marian (Karen Black), her husband Ben (Oliver Reed), their twelve-year-old son Davey (Lee H. Montgomery), and Ben's elderly Aunt Elizabeth (Bette Davis). The owners of the house are the Allardyce siblings, Arnold and Roz (Burgess Meredith and Eileen Heckart); there is also a caretaker called Walker. The Allardyces inform the Rolfs of a particularly odd requirement for their rental: their mother will continue to live in her upstairs room, and the Rolfs are to provide her with meals during their stay. The siblings explain that the old woman is obsessed with privacy and will not interact with them, so meals are to be left outside her door. Marian eagerly accepts this task, having already succumbed to the allure of the ornate house and its period decor. She becomes obsessed with caring for the home, begins to dress as if she is from the Victorian age, and distances herself from her family. Of particular interest to her is a room near the bedroom of Mrs. Allardyce, which contains collections of framed portraits of people from different eras and a music box.
