What happens

Flesh and Fantasy is a 1943 American anthology film directed by Julien Duvivier and starring Edward G. Robinson, Charles Boyer, Robert Cummings and Barbara Stanwyck. The film follows the success of Duvivier's previous anthology film Tales of Manhattan (1942). Flesh and Fantasy tells three stories, unrelated but with a supernatural theme, written by Ellis St. Joseph, Oscar Wilde and László Vadnay. Interstitial scenes to connect and present the three segments feature humorist Robert Benchley. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
