The will is read and the housekeeper Mrs Krug (Martha Mattox) and her son Hanns (Mischa Auer) (who both speak in a ridiculously slow and monotone manner) are put out by the small inheritance they get. That night a hairy hand attempts to strangle Ruth, just the start of some terrible and mysterious happenings that stormy night...
So its a film with mysterious and strange servants, a wild ape and hidden passages. It could have been a lot better film than it is, the pace is incredibly slow and some of the acting hideous.
