I cinque episodi che costituiscono il film sono introdotti da un prologo in cui un misterioso frate in una catacomba fa rivivere alcuni peccatori che raccontano i loro crimini: una donna commette uxoricidio, ma viene uccisa da un pazzo; un uomo scappa con l'amante, ma un incidente sfigura lui e acceca lei; un giovane costringe al suicidio un rivale, ma il fantasma di questi gli strappa il cuore; un industriale viene distrutto da una magica statuetta; il direttore d'un ospizio per ciechi è divorato da un cane.
