Carnival Of Souls
Mary Henry is riding in a car with two other young women when some men challenge them to a drag race. As they speed across a bridge, the women's car plunges over the side into the river. The police spend three hours dragging the murky, fast-running water without success. Then Mary miraculously can not remember how she survived. Mary then drives to Utah, where she has been hired as a church organist. Odd things happen along the way.
