Marc and Emma are the epitome of young love, and they can hardly wait to set up home in their new house.  What they don't know is that their house has a dark secret.  In the 1970s, the cellar served as a gay night club and one fatal evening five men died in tragic circumstances.  Not long after moving into the house, Marc is disturbed by the ghosts of the five disco dancing gay men.   Emma in unable to see these apparitions and becomes perturbed by her partner's increasingly erratic behaviour.  A psychoanalyst diagnoses Marc's visions as the product of latent homosexual tendencies.  When Emma leaves him, the five gay ghosts decide to come to Marc's rescue...
