Second part in a two part adaptation of the Daphne Du Maurier thriller. In an effort to establish herself as the new mistress of Manderley, Mrs de Winter revives the mansion's famous fancy dress ball. She is encouraged by Mrs Danvers to copy a dress from a painting of a family ancestor, but her husband is furious.
