British Short Horror

Ben, a young teacher, finds an antique door knocker in his garden and takes it to the local museum, whose curator explains that it is from a Tudor mansion, now demolished, called Geap Manor, whose original owner, Sir Roger Widdowson, was accused of Satanism in his efforts to produce an heir but died childless. In the eighteenth century the house is bought by a greedy parvenu called Bloxham, who has made his money at the expense of others and is accused by his late business partner's widow of driving her husband to his death. Bloxham hears noises in the wainscoting of the house and believes that they are made by mice but the wood is, in fact, the same wood that was used to build the gallows at Tyburn in London, where criminals were hanged, and Bloxham's actions have been criminal, and he will be made to pay for them.

The curator continues to tell Ben the history of Geap Manor. In 1927 Lady Constance de Momery attends the engagement party for her grandson Felix and his fiancée Ruth. Felix's former girlfriend Katherine is disapproving of Ruth. Ruth believes that Katherine is the woman in a bridal gown who she sees kissing Felix. However, Lady Constance tells her that the woman is the ghost of a bride who committed suicide fifty years earlier, having found out that she had been betrayed by her groom and his lover. As a result she laid a curse on all weddings conducted at the manor, a curse that only Lady Constance can lift at great peril to herself.

When the curator declines his gift of the knocker to the museum, Ben puts it on his own front door. Consequently he is woken in the night to find that he is, momentarily, in Geap Manor, witnessing Widdowson's rites. He removes the knocker and returns to the museum to find that things there are not as they had seemed before. The next day he discovers that his house is built where Geap Manor once stood and he throws the knocker in a creek. Returning home he finds that the knocker has mysteriously re-appeared on his door, placing Ben and his pregnant girlfriend at the mercy of the ghost of the childless Widdowson.
