Comment/Synopsis
An elderly woman (Ceciia Loftus) is expected soon to die, so her relatives gather at the mansion ready to inherit but when she is killed they all become suspects. This is an isolated house murder mystery style of film complete with hidden passages. The film is very much a mixed bag with some good performances, but is let down by the character and performance of Hugh Herbert who is just annoying rather then comic.
