Bill Carter enters an antique shop looking for a birthday gift for his wife, Anne, and finds an antique mirror. Although the antiques dealer warns him the mirror belonged to a sorcerer and is thought to be enchanted, Bill gets it for his wife, thinking the strange story will enhance the mirror's appeal. Anne puts the mirror in the bedroom, so she can dress in front of it.

Over the following days, Anne spends increasing amounts of time in front of the mirror, becoming irritable and angry with her husband. Soon, she begins talking to the mirror, performing magical rites and reciting spells. Eventually, she tries to release the sorcerer trapped in the mirror. She tricks Bill into the next room and locks him in and begins the ritual. Bill pounds on the wall, asking to be released, and the vibrations knock the mirror from the wall, breaking it and releasing Anne from its spell.
