It is now in the possession of Anne (Phyllis Barry), but it is stolen right out from under her pillow while she sleeps. And the whodunit begins as a Scotland Yard investigator sorts through likely and unlikely suspects.

Coming in from the cold was not necessarily good for a group of travelers–Philip and Margaret Waverton (Raymond Massey and Gloria Stuart) and their friend Penderel (Melvyn Douglas)–who seek shelter in a spooky old house. After banging on the door, they are coldly greeted by butler Morgan (Boris Karloff) and the Fenn family–Horace (Ernest Thesiger) and his deaf sister Rebecca (Eva Moore). Wind-blown travelers Sir William Porterhouse (Charles Laughton) and chorus girl Gladys (Lilian Bond) also seek refuge at the house. Matters deteriorate when Morgan gets drunk and releases psychotic pyromaniac Saul Fenn (Brember Wills) who tries to kill Penderel and set the house on fire.
