Stephen, a young orphan, goes to stay with his reclusive cousin Abney in his large old house in the country. The boy is haunted by two ghostly children who had stayed at the house but disappeared under Abney's charge. Although Abney seems to be a likeably odd, if rather silly eccentric old man, Stephen begins to wonder if there is something more disturbing behind his cousin's peculiarities. Perhaps the ghostly children are trying to warn the young lad of how they had lost their lives?
