In this anthology film based on four R. Chetwynd-Hayes short stories, the action revolves around an antique shop called Temptations and the tragedies that befall the fools who attempt to cheat the store's owner (Peter Cushing). In one of the stories, a customer (David Warner) unleashes an evil entity from an antique mirror; in another, a henpecked husband strikes up a sinister friendship with a retired army officer (Donald Pleasence).
