Description

Short fictional film made by the Mid-Cheshire Amateur Cinematography Society. A man borrows a book about secret societies from the library - on the way home, engrosssed in the book, he accidentally pushes a woman collecting for charity. Later, the man and his family go for a picnic near Beeston Castle. Whilst his wife and daughter go for a walk, the man continues reading his book until he notices a Ku Klux Klan member at the bottom of the path to the castle. He follows him up to the castle, where he is attacked and taken to a cave full of Ku Klux Klan members. The charity collector reappears briefly, and orders that the man be thrown from a cliff. As they throw him over, the man wakes up - it was all a dream - but he is sufficiently shaken to give a large donation to another charity collector.
