The film was one of the biggest British MGM productions in years. According to the playwright Terence Rattigan, who wrote the screenplay, the film was based on the true story of Vivien Leigh's attempt to leave her husband Laurence Olivier and fly off with her lover Peter Finch, only to be delayed by a fog at Heathrow Airport. The team of director Asquith, producer Anatole de Grunwald and writer Rattigan were to produce another portmanteau film the following year entitled The Yellow Rolls-Royce, in which Miller also starred, albeit with a minor role as a head waiter.

L'histoire se déroule en 1900 dans la Londres victorienne. Le London Opera House est, dit-on, hanté par un fantôme depuis que Lord Ambrose D'Arcy (Michael Gough) tente d'y présenter un nouvel opéra. Lors de la première, le spectacle est gâché par le corps d'un pendu qui apparaît en se balançant au bout d'une corde au-dessus de la scène. La chanteuse engagée refuse d'y jouer de nouveau.

En 1947, plusieurs centaines de réfugiés juifs, rescapés de l'Holocauste, désirent à tout prix rejoindre la Palestine. Ayant tout perdu, arriver en Israël est leur unique espoir. Cependant, les rescapés n'ont pas de certificat d'immigration pour la Palestine, et sont arrêtés par les Anglais en mer. Les troupes britanniques les parquent dans des camps dans l'île de Chypre, en attendant sans doute leur renvoi en Allemagne ; en attendant, les organisations sionistes envoient des hommes de Palestine pour administrer les camps britanniques chypriotes.

Jeffrey Buckenham (Paul Massie), un Canadien qui a combattu en Europe quelques années plus tôt et a été détenu dans un camp de prisonniers en Allemagne, voit à la télé Sir Mark Sebastian Loddon (interprété par Dirk Bogarde) en train de faire visiter son château familial ; or, Loddon a été un camarade de détention de Buckenham, et l'ancien soldat canadien se convainc bientôt que l'homme qui se présente comme Sir Loddon est un imposteur : l'acteur Frank Wellney, lui aussi détenu dans le camp allemand. Buckenham annonce publiquement qu'il suspecte Wellney d'avoir assassiné Loddon pendant une tentative d'évasion, et d'avoir ensuite usurpé la place de l'aristocrate anglais. Le soi-disant Loddon attaque en justice son accusateur pour diffamation, mais les séquelles d'un événement tragique survenu en Allemagne affectent son esprit : il perd pied et sa femme (Olivia de Havilland), jusque-là loyale, commence à douter de lui.
