Superstition runs through nearly every culture, and this film catalogs the objects, numbers, and habits people use to ward off bad luck or invite good fortune. It looks at numbers considered cursed or blessed across different societies, along with charms and tokens people carry or display for protection. The film moves between traditions rather than settling on one country or era, treating superstition as a human constant rather than a quirk of any single place. It sits alongside four companion films in the same set, covering witches, devils, creatures, and the history of Halloween, and shares their premise that fear of the unexplained produced these practices in the first place. The approach here is descriptive rather than analytical, presenting the beliefs and objects themselves more than the psychology or history behind them.
