At the request of her aging, ailing aunt, Jessica Moore, a young schoolteacher, goes undercover to solve the old unsolved murder of a wealthy industrialist. To do so effectively, she rents rooms in the murdered man’s mansion, which is reputed to be haunted and which his ancient housekeeper, Mrs. Johnson has mysteriously inherited. But as Jessica enters, she knows she is being watched. What she, nor the ancient housekeeper know, however, is that two men are hiding inside the vast old place, watching Jessica’s arrival and plotting to kill her – tonight.
