OVERVIEW

If anyone cheats the shop's proprieter at Temptations Ltd, a nasty fate awaits them. Four customers purchase items:-

(1.) The Gatecrasher: Edward Charlton tricks the proprieter into believing an antique mirror is a reproduction in order to get a lower price. After Edward holds a seance, a mysterious figure appears in the mirror.

(2.) An Act Of Kindness: Christopher Lowe, a bored office worker and henpecked husband, befriends a match and shoelace seller, Jim Underwood. Christopher finds that Jim is a decorated soldier, and in an attempt to impress him tries to buy a war medal from the antique shop proprieter. Not having the required paperwork to purchase the medal, he instead steals it. After ingratiating himself with Lowe, he finds that the old soldier is less innocent than he at first thought.

(3.) The Elemental: After tricking the proprieter into buying a cheap snuff box, Reggie Warren, a pompous businessman, boards a train. On the train a woman known as Madame Orloff informs him that he has an Elemental on his shoulder. When he gets back to his house, he discovers that the Elemental has followed him there.

(4.) The Door: William Seaton, a writer, buys an antique door from the proprieter. When he takes it back home, he finds that a mysterious blue room lies behind the door. It begins to exert a strong influence over him that threatens his very soul.
