Tourist Alan Foster (Georges Riviere) stops at an inn and meets Lord Blackwood and Edgar Allan Poe. The two bet Alan that he cannot spend one night in a haunted mansion where several deaths have occurred. Alan takes the bet.

He escapes in order to exact revenge on the real culprits, especially Fox (Georges Riviere) who withheld information that would have proven his innocence.
