Graduate student Nancy Wagner (Sandra Dee) faIls under his malign influence and traveIs with him back to his home where WiIbur has pIans to use her in a ritual to raise ‘The Old Ones’, cosmic beings from another dimension. But who, or what, is in the locked room at the top of the stairs? And what will happen if they get out?
