- A madman tells his tale of murder, and how a strange beating sound haunted him afterward.
- One of the most discussed and imaginative cartoons of any era. It tells the famous Edgar Allan Poe story of the deranged boarder who had to kill his landlord, not for greed, but because he possessed an "evil eye." The killer is never seen but his presence is felt by the use light-and-shadow to give the impression of impending disaster. According to UPA, the art style was derived from Eugene Berman, scenic designer and ballet designer of NYC's Metropolitan Opera.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
- A nervous man is compelled to tell the story of the old man who lived in an old house. The old man did nothing to threaten or directly scare the narrator, but nonetheless the younger man was eerily transfixed by the older man, who was the cause of his nervousness. He figured out that there was something about the old man's milky white eyes. But there was something about the old man even more ominous. If the younger man did what he was thinking about doing to stop that ominous presence, he may not have gotten the end result that he wanted, but rather be haunted for eternity.—Huggo
- Through the eyes of the madman who believed he was sane, the gruesome story of a good old man who lived in a derelict house with a milky-white glass for an eye unfolds. Appalled by the very sight of him, patiently, the deranged lodger waited and waited for the right time to make the horrid and incessant thumping of the old man's heart cease, knowing that this would finally set him free. So, he puts his insane plan into effect.—Nick Riganas
- A stylish and faithful adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's classic short story. Narrated in first-person by James Mason, the main character calmly tells the police of an unnatural revulsion with his landlord's "strange" eye that leads him to murder the landlord and hide his dismembered body under the floorboards of a rooming house.—Edward Summer
