Bickering newlyweds Kenneth and Malena Paulton are thrown back to previous lives in Elizabethan England where they are a knight and a gypsy. The film is loosely based on the earlier play of the same name by Dix and Sutherland.

Safety note: Do not attempt this movie’s method of creating a timeslip—via a fiery train crash—at home.
—Michael Main
I know I love you, Ken! But today—during the marriage service—something seemed to reach out of the Past that made me—afraid!
