John Gilmore, an ambitious M.P. has moved his wife and young daughter away from London. Convinced that the child is mentally unstable, he fears that the stigma will jeopardise his career. the girl is a virtual prisoner, attended only by her mother, a housekeeper and a maid. Tensions mount through a series of macabre events, when a figure from the past appears and skeletons come tumbling out.

When his addiction finally drives him to violent insanity, the women abandon him and plan a new life without him.

Up the Garden Path

Synopsis:
Maurice & Caroline have all the trappings of today's affluence, but their marriage is on the rocks, and they both seek a missing element. Maurice would rather be a tree doctor, or even a lumberjack if only he could escape the treadmill of his failing property development business. Caroline has tried to scale the social ladder to discover that her pretentious climb was not worth the effort. She will sacrifice all she has for what she calls freedom. their friends, the Brumfitts, share their intolerant opinions. the insular existence of these four is shattered when a handsome nobleman and his wild Romany partner arrive to point the way to the missing elements of love, honesty and freedom. they also show that half the human race is leading the other half up the .garden path.
