Academy Award-winner Anthony Hopkins (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) is Corky, a painfully shy, failed magician who finds overnight success as a ventriloquist. With his star on the rise, talent agent Ben Greene (Burgess Meredith) arranges an important shot at national TV. But the pressure of failing the network's required physical sends Corky into a panic. With dummy Fats in tow, he flees the city to a nearly-deserted resort in the Catskills run by the love of his youth, Peggy Ann Snow (Ann-Margret). After they make love, Corky confides to Fats that he may leave show business altogether. Fats becomes furious and lashes out at him, playing on his guilt and insecurity. Now under Fats' control, Corky is manipulated into a series of violent and unexpected confrontations.

A mild-mannered ex-Marine (Academy Award-winner Alan Arkin -- "Little Miss Sunshine," "Slums of Beverly Hills"), now a California Department of Motor Vehicles test driver in Los Angeles, has an unexpected yet adventure-filled ride when he is kidnapped by two young women (Academy Award-nominee Sally Kellerman -- "M*A*S*H," "Back to School"; and Mackenzie Phillips -- "The Jacket," "American Graffiti") and, at gunpoint, is ordered to drive them to New Orleans...by way of Las Vegas.

Charlotte Hollis, an aging recluse deluded into a state of dementia by horrible memories and hallucinations, lives in a secluded house where, thirty-seven years before, John Mayhew her married lover, was beheaded and mutilated by an unknown assailant.

Charlotte Hollis, wealthy southern spinster, is shunned by her community for the grizzly murder some 40 years prior of her intended, John Mayhew. Even though her guilt in the matter was never proven, the townspeople liken her to a modern-day Lizzie Borden. The murders are similar in nature and the children even taunt her with cruel rhymes. For this reason she lives a life secluded from the mainstream of society. Her needs are cared for by her faithful servant, Velma. Now, progress in the guise of new highway construction threatens the Hollis Plantation, her home, and the family domicile since Civil War times. She refuses to leave when she is issued an eviction notice by the sheriff and even takes pot shots at the highwaymen when they encroach upon her property line. Charlotte summons "Cousin Miriam" to fight the public battle to save her home. To her chagrin, Miriam has come with the intention of assisting with the packing -- not to save the mansion from the bulldozers. After Charlotte, Miriam is the sole heir to the Hollis Estate. This is motive enough for Miriam to have Charlotte committed for her strange and reclusive behavior. But, is Charlotte insane? Doctor Drew seems to feel she may need some help across the threshold of insanity."

Kind teenager Miriam (Mona Freeman), the daughter of former judge Senator Wilkins (Edward Arnold), wants to rehabilitate criminals and so offers a gardening job to recent parolee Harry Baxter (Lyle Bettger), much to the dismay of her father, who had sentenced Harry to prison for kidnapping. Harry is also dubious about Miriam's plans, but even as she juggles romantic scandals and family dramas, she aims to reunite Harry with his wife and daughter.

Late one night, wealthy New York socialite Alison Courtland (Claudette Colbert) awakens on a Boston-bound train with no memory of how she got there. Richard (Don Ameche), her architect husband, says she shot at him the night before, an accusation that doesn't quite ring true. He brings in a psychiatrist (George Coulouris), whose methods drive Alison to the brink of madness. Is she truly going insane, or is it all a ruse? Robert Cummings co-stars.

An advertising agent is pursued by one of his clients who is his former fiance. Another client turns out to be female and her intentions are unclear.
