Ten-year-old Joey (William Dix) returns home after two years of mental treatment for killing his sister. He is then under the charge of the real killer–his psychotic Nanny (Bette Davis). Only Joey recognizes the Nanny for what she really is. Joey's mother (Wendy Craig) is poisoned and nearly dies from food prepared by the Nanny, but still no one–except Joey's neighbor friend Bobbie (Pamela Franklin)–believes that the nanny is responsible. Matters come to a head when the Nanny tries to smother Joey with a pillow, is discovered by Joey's Aunt Pen (Jill Bennett), and the Nanny leaves the house forever. 1 User Review

Four of W. Somerset Maugham's stories are presented in this film, with each being introduced by the author. The stories are: "The Facts of Life," "Alien Corn," "The Kite," and "The Colonel's Lady." All are excellent, and due to the success of this omnibus, three others were produced the following year in "Trio."
