A vivacious lady moves to a quaint Wiltshire village and enlivens the social set, but her arrival coincides with the outbreak of an inexplicable blood disease amongst the locals. Creepy or what?

The story telling has wonderful economy for such a short piece. In the first half every frame and sound adds crucial information for the viewer, so the ground is covered twice as quick as you'd expect from a full feature. And there's an impressive long take at a garden fete, with the lead actress moving from one interaction to another with great skill.

In the end the story is ordinary, so the second half relies on music and dodgy '70s effects to deliver the usual climax.
