In 'Blithe Spirit' socialite and novelist Charles Condomine (Griffith Jones) holds a seance in the hope of gathering material for his next book. It backfires when his first wife turns up to haunt him. 'The Vortex' focuses on sexual vanity and drug abuse among the upper classes. Florence (Margaret Johnston), an ageing socialite, has extramarital affairs with younger men.
