A family chauffeur called Bruno (played by Lon Chaney Jr) devotes himself to care for three siblings in their dilapidated rural mansion after the death of their father. The siblings who have a rare inherited condition as a result of inbreeding called "Merrye Syndrome", a condition starting in early puberty that causes them to regress mentally, socially and physically.
