Fred is repairing his tractor in the shed when the electricity cuts out. He goes to investigate in the house and hears strange noises. He calls his friend Bob for help. When they go upstairs to check, Bob's leg falls through a step. As Fred checks the bedrooms, a ghostly figure emerges from the wardrobe. The ghost reveals it is the spirit of a farmer who used to live there and died in that room. Fred screams and runs away with the ghost chasing him. As he tries to escape through the kitchen, a gunshot is heard.
