A family of cannibalistic thieves menace a married couple, the Denhams, but Mr. Denham (Tom Poston) laughs off the scary Southern hotel as a joke. The Denhams became lost on a second honeymoon and sought shelter in a spooky hotel, but were quickly locked in by the Carta family. Beautiful Rosamond Denham (Elizabeth Montgomery) is appalled to find the Cartas have a private jail cell, containing haggard female relative Ruth Carta, who pleads for Rosamond to release her.
