明里虚与委蛇，滴水不漏；暗地剑拔弩张，引而不发。

1940年的柏林，纳粹剑拔弩张，侵略欧洲几国，而反纳粹战士正在纳粹的心脏里展开积极斗争。柏林表面上依然歌舞升平。纳粹情报官员舒伦堡经常去麦克斯夜总会，因为他爱上了年轻歌手汉纳。汉纳是美国姑娘，她来柏林是来看望舅舅——夜总会老板麦克斯的。麦克斯是个正在从事地下活动的反纳粹自由战士。他对汉纳与舒伦堡交往深为不安。

纳粹进攻英国的计划拖延下来了。党卫军头子希姆莱委托舒伦堡拟定一个“温莎行动计划”，企图通过劝说或绑架的手段，把现在旅居葡萄牙的英国前国王温莎公爵弄到德国，以扶他再登上王位为诱饵，让他发表演说，瓦解英国人的斗志，以达到侵略英国的目的。这一计划的书面文件的复印本，被麦克斯获得。麦克斯要汉纳亲去葡萄牙交给温莎公爵，挫败纳粹的阴谋。后来，麦克斯被秘密警察杀害。

汉纳到了巴黎，准备乘火车去葡萄牙，不意在火车站上与舒伦堡相遇，只得同行。在火车即将到达葡首都里斯本的时候，汉纳跳车逃跑。她根据舅舅的嘱咐，去欧法多餐馆找乔·杰克逊。乔听了汉纳的叙述，感到非同小可。他通过一个人的帮助，让汉纳与温莎公爵会面。这个人把乔出卖了。汉纳在公爵府见到的竟是舒伦堡。汉纳和乔虽逃脱了被捕的厄运，但被舒伦堡抢先，在公爵面前游说。

汉纳焦急万分，因为自己的任务没完成，而舒伦堡已在执行他们的计划。乔准备第二次行动，在公爵观看斗牛表演时，让汉纳设法接近公爵，面交文件。与此同时，舒伦堡正准备利用这一场合绑架公爵。

斗牛盛会结束，公爵和夫人随着人群离场之际，突然一声枪响，人群奔突。站在公爵身旁的舒伦堡以保护公爵夫妇为名，让公爵夫妇上了他们的汽车，汽车向边境急驶而去。公爵还蒙在鼓里。乔识破舒伦堡的阴谋，立刻同汉纳跳上汽车紧紧追上不舍。公爵的汽车终被拦住，葡萄牙警方也赶到了。乔当着公爵的面揭穿了舒伦堡的阴谋，汉纳也把文件交给了公爵。公爵才明白了事件的真相。舒伦堡承认了自己的失败。他未能对汉纳忘情，但，他知道自己也永远失去了汉纳。

Framing StoryDr Martin (Robert Powell) arrives at a secluded asylum "for the incurably insane" to be interviewed for a job by the wheelchair-using, authoritarian Dr Lionel Rutherford (Patrick Magee). Rutherford explains that he owes his current incapacitation to an attack by an inmate. Rutherford reveals his unorthodox plan to determine Martin's suitability for the post of head Doctor. One of the asylum's current inmates is Dr B. Starr, the former head doctor who underwent a complete mental breakdown. Martin is to interview the inmates of the asylum to deduce which one is Dr Starr. If his choice is correct Rutherford will "consider" him for the post.
The attendant Max Reynolds (Geoffrey Bayldon) admits Martin through the security door to the inmates' solitary confinement cells where he interviews each in turn.
"Frozen Fear"Bonnie (Barbara Parkins) recounts the plot to murder Ruth (Sylvia Sims), the wealthy wife of her lover Walter (Richard Todd). Ruth is a possessive heiress who studies voodoo, and this interest stands in the way of Bonnie and Walter being together.
"The Weird Tailor"Bruno (Barry Morse) recounts how poverty forced him to accept the unusual request of a Mr Smith (Peter Cushing) to produce an elaborate suit of clothing from a mysterious, scintillating, fabric that can animate anything, including the dead.
After learning what the suit will be used for, Bruno fights Smith and accidentally kills him. He returns with the unsold suit. His wife Anna (Anne Firbank) dresses their store mannequin in the suit and its true powers are revealed.
"Lucy Comes To Stay"The ebullient Barbara (Charlotte Rampling) informs Martin she has been in an asylum before. After her release from that asylum she was closely monitored at home by her brother George (James Villiers) and a nurse, Miss Higgins (Megs Jenkins). This frustrated existence is relieved when her mischievous friend Lucy (Britt Ekland) comes to visit.
"Mannikins of Horror"Finally Martin interviews Dr Byron (Herbert Lom) who holds Rutherford in deep contempt. Byron explains he is working towards soul transference with a small automaton whose head is a likeness of his own, and shows Martin several earlier models. Byron plans to "will" his mannequin to life, and explains the interior of the robot is organic, a miniaturised version of his own viscera. Martin concludes his interview and Max shows him downstairs to deliver his judgement to Rutherford.
Byron successfully brings his mannequin to life: it makes its way to Rutherford's office and kills him with a surgical knife. Then, Martin destroys the mannequin and seeks help from Max Reynolds, and Dr. Starr's true identity is revealed.
