During the events of Torture Garden (1967) played by Barbara Ewing

At a carnival, a Carnival Barker invites the public to see the Torture Garden for half a crown. Inside, Dr. Diabolo performs his torture show where he shows off different torture devices. He shows them the electric chair and says the man sitting within it is deserving of his fate. Dr. Diabolo pulls the switch and seemingly kills the man sitting within. He invites the people at the show to see his real Torture Garden for five pounds. Gordon Roberts, Colin Williams, Carla Hayes, Dorothy, and Ronald Wyatt pay the money and Dr,. Diabolo drops all of their money into a fire. He introduces them to a waxwork figure he calls Atropos. He says that Atropos can reveal to each of them their own inner evil. He continues that by showing them their future, they may be able to avoid it. Colin is the first to walk up to Atropos. The next to walk over to Atropos is Carla, then Dorothy goes next.

Dorothy goes to Leo Winston's home and meets Miss Chambers who tells her that Leo won't be able to be interviewed for very long due to him needing to practice. After their interview, Dorothy asks Leo more questions about himself and he introduces her to his piano, Euterpe, which was a present from his mother. He plays on Euterpe and tells her that Euterpe will have to get used to her. Dorothy tells Leo that she heard him talking to himself and he tells her that he was talking to Euterpe. Dorothy goes to Leo's house and finds him slumped over Euterpe. She gives him a present of a framed picture of herself and he tells her that Euterpe resents her and thinks she is trying to prevent him from improving himself. They hear a shattering sound and find the glass shattered on the picture she gave him. Dorothy goes to speak to Miss Chambers and tells her to cancel Leo's upcoming tour. Miss Chambers accuses Dorothy of smothering him and accuses her of only liking Leo, because Leo is famous. Dorothy tells her that Leo belongs to her now and leaves. She goes to Leo's house and hears the piano playing and Leo tells her that Euterpe was playing on its own. She tells him that they should go on a vacation and he will have to cancel his tour. She gives him an ultimatum that they either go on vacation together and cancel his tour or she will leave him. Leo goes to pack his suitcase and while Dorothy is in the room with Euterpe it starts to play on its own. It starts playing Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 and pushes Dorothy out of the window.

Dorothy wakes from her trance and Ronald is next. Atropos cuts Ronald's thread. Dr. Diabolo tries to make Gordon go next and Gordon grabs Atropos' scissors and starts stabbing Dr. Diabalo until he falls dead. The others then run away.
