Summaries

Murder mystery with a nurse (Lee Patrick) moving into a mansion after an apparent suicide to care for the old mother. The mother is kind of spooky, but so is the butler, and the girlfriend, and the doctor, and... you get the point. After the insurance policy is found, the plot becomes more interesting.—Ed Lorusso

Nurse Ruth Adams (Lee Patrick) is assigned to care for an ailing dowager in her spooky mansion, and Tom Patten (Regis Toomey) is the police inspector assigned to solving a murder committed in the dowager's residence, in which multiple usual suspects sand to benefit from the crime.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
