OVERVIEW

Five men arrive in an elevator in an office block in London. The elevator takes them down to a low level basement, and when they find what seems to be a gentlemans room, they sit down and relate to each over their recurring nightmares.

(1.) Midnight Mess: After tracking his sister to a strange town, Harold kills her to claim the inheritance money. Taking a meal at a local restaurant, he finds all the patrons share a deadly secret.

(2.) The Neat Job: Gritchit, an extremely fastidious person, lives with his young wife Eleanor. When he finds that she is not as house-proud as he had hoped for, he drives her mad with his constant nagging, and the consequences are deadly.

(3.) This'll Trick You: Sebastian, a magician, and his wife are in India looking for new tricks. When he sees a woman perform an impressive basket trick, he invites her to his hotel room to find out how it is done.

(4.) Bargain In Death: Maitland and his friend Alex come up with a plot to scam insurance money. When Maitland is buried alive as part of the plot, he is double-crossed by Alex.

(5.) Drawn And Quartered: Moore is a painter living in Haiti. When he gets cheated by the art establishment, he swears vengeance on its members. A voodoo priest gives him a strange power which he wields with aplomb.

The concluding piece tells how the five men came to be there.
