American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。一名新闻记者在他即将发表一篇爆炸性新闻前被谋杀了，而这则消息的内容是关于一些科学家证实“带疯牛病毒的牛死后也能将病毒传染给人类”。他的女朋友发誓要找出凶手，并发表这则新闻。然而她的行为却令那些想隐瞒事实的当权者紧张万分，所以为了让她保持沉默，只有让她永远消失。但她不畏恐吓，坚持将调查的真相公诸报端，并巧妙地避过了杀手的追杀，完成了男友未尽的工作。。一个“land girl(特指二战中在家从事农活的妇女)”，一个美国军队征召人员，一个英国士兵，他们三个人在通往坎特伯雷的路上的一个叫肯特的小镇相遇了。这个小镇正在经受一个神秘的“胶水男”的折磨，这个“胶水男”会把胶水浇在夜里和士兵出去约会的少女的头发上。于是他们三个人便试图追查出“胶水男”的真实身份，并把嫌疑集中在了当地的法官--一个对英格兰历史，尤其是对坎特伯雷的历史有着神秘的观点的神秘人物－－身上……。
