Synopsis

The classic tale of Mystery and Suspense!
"Infinitely superior in every way to Death on the Nile" FILMS IN REVIEW. A canary can die of fright at the sight of a stalking cat. Cyrus West, an eccentric and cruel millionaire was of a similar opinion, he believed fear could make a person lose his mind. His six surviving relatives are gathered at his large deserted house 20 years after his death to hear the reading of his will. The heir is named with the stipulation that everyone stays in the house overnight and the heir must still be sane and alive the following morning. If not a second heir will inherit the fortune. The night is stormy, a psychopathic killer is apparently on the run from the local asylum. Secret passages and chiming clocks abound. All seems set to drive the heir insane or to a fate even more terrible.
