The film begins with George (Ray Lovelock) on a trip from his Antique shop in Manchester to the Lake District to work on a new house with some of his friends. On the way his Norton motorcycle is accidentally damaged by Edna (Cristina Galbo) while reversing her Mini Cooper at a petrol station. He persuades her to give him a lift to his destination. Edna is on her way to visit her troubled sister. This unlikely pairing then enter a desperate situation where an agricultural machine designed to kill insects and act as an ultrasonic pesticide has caused the dead to rise and roam about. Of course the police do not believe their story and the inspector heading the investigation (Arthur Kennedy) takes an instant dislike to George.
