'Dad goes to London as a member of the Dairy Marketing Board; but immediately plunges into a round of sight-seeing, and visits the grim old Tower of London with a party of tourists. By some mischance Dad gets left behind, and is locked up for the night in the dungeons. He sleeps, and into his dream ghosts out of the storied past come crowding. “Dreams go by contrary,” and history is therefore presented in a ghostly, amusing, and surprising manner.'
