While driving home, Martin Delambre (George Baker), the grandson of the "turned-into-a-fly" André from the past films, comes across one Patricia Stanley (Carole Gray) running in the night, and gives her a lift since since she barely has any clothes on. They soon fall in love after this little encounter, and he marries her before taking her to his home. Unfortunately for each other, Patricia is an escapee from a mental asylum and Martin and his father Henri (Brian Lonlevy) continue the family tradition of dabbling in experimental [[TeleportersAndTransporters teleportation devices]] that have caused several horrifying accidents already.

* BodyHorror: Nobody turns into a HalfHumanHybrid this time, but teleportation and/or RapidAging turns out to have disfiguring effects on those who experience them. If if that wasn't bad enough, [[spoiler: the two ill-fated assistants are slain and their corpses teleported to London in turn for Martin to dispose of the bodies...or rather, ''body'' because they're both brought back at the same time]].
