Jack Nicholson is a Napoleonian French Cavalry Officer looking for his lost regiment near the Baltic Sea. He is soon fascinated by a beautiful young woman who has got the strange power to appear and disappear abruptly. His quest will lead him to the castle of the Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe who swears to him that there isn't any young woman in the castle. But Jack Nicholson keep seeing the young woman whose looks are those of the Baron's late wife who died 20 years ago.

Gothic à la Corman.
