The film opens with three small girls having a tea party in an upstairs room at the local inn. As they play, one of them looks up, the... other two doing the same. The three girls, in a kind of trance, destroy their toys and move to the bay window. Each of them simultaneously opens one window and jumps to her death. A woman screams over her child's death, and the screen pans out, revealing a portion of a woman in a black gown. In the Edwardian era, young solicitor Arthur Kipps lives with his four-year-old son, Joseph and his son's nanny . Kipps's wife Stella has died after childbirth.
