Comedy thriller about a woman whose vast inheritance makes her the target of a mysterious killer. Based on a 1922 play which was also filmed in 1939 with Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard, the story contains all the ingredients of the classic 'old dark house' mystery - a creepy mansion, will readings, rainy nights, and a murderous madman.
