A baby sitter is stuck watching over a young brat on Halloween night who keeps playing vicious pranks on her. To add to her trouble the boy's deranged father has escaped from an asylum and is planning on making a visit. The tape box says this mess of a film runs 90 minutes, but the film really only runs 75 minutes. And even then you can feel the padding.
Somehow or another Orson Welles got involved in this production.
