Plot

When various trustees of the Van Traylen Orphanage begin dying in close order, it's at first written off as a coincidence. But, when a school bus accident very nearly takes out three more of them along with a group of orphans, Col. Bingham and his pathologist friend, Mark, begin looking into the deaths. They come to think the answer lies with one of the girls on the bus, who has vivid memories of things she could not possibly have seen.

**_Lee & Cushing investigate sinister happenings on an isle off the coast of Britain_** Based on John Blackburn’s 1968 novel and shot in the spring of 1972, this obscure flick was released eleven months before the similar “The Wicker Man.” They’re different enough to make both worth checking out, but the latter is clearly the more memorable production.
