Cuando Kathy Thorn da a luz a un bebé muerto, su esposo Robert le oculta la verdad y sustituye a su hijo por un niño huérfano, ignorando su origen satánico. El horror empieza cuando, en el quinto cumpleaños de Damien, inesperadamente, su niñera se suicida. Un sacerdote que trata de advertir a Robert del peligro que corre, muere en un inesperado accidente. El creciente número de muertes hace que Robert, por fin, se dé cuenta de que el niño que han adoptado es el Anticristo, y que hay que matarlo para impedir que se cumpla una terrible profecia.

Supreme Beefeater
John and his class go on a school trip to the Tower of London. While he is there he loses his pet mouse and vows to return and find her later. Back in school, he is not very attentive and falls asleep during a lesson about electricity so his teacher sends him home. On the 'tube' there is a sudden flash, and John, the train and all of the passengers turn yellow. With the help of Nick (short for 'Electronic') John learns about electricity, invades the Tower of London and saves his pet mouse ... or was it a dream. This is the Powell & Pressburger touch applied to children's films.

Because of its high productivity and "almost" 100 per cent employment, the town of Hayhoe, England is expecting a visit from the Prime Minister. The "almost" is because of Dan Dance (Eddie Byrne), an old rogue who would rather drink and philosophize than work. The Village Council are determined to have a perfect record so they connive to have the old man put into the alms-house which has been unoccupied for many years, where he must abide by rules laid down 400 years ago. A new Vicar arrives and discovers that, because of the circumstances created by the Council, Dan Dance is entitled to 6,000 pounds a year at the expense of the village.
