This eerie mood piece features Greenstreet as an unscrupulous count bent on wresting a fortune away from Parker. After plotting to marry her off to his partner in crime, Emery, Greenstreet works on the woman's twin sister (Parker in a dual role) by having the sibling committed to an insane
asylum. The sister escapes and appears in white garb, a seeming ghostly apparition, trying to warn Parker of the evil doings. Young is an artist who also helps rescue Parker from Greenstreet's clutches. After Greenstreet's plans are foiled, Greenstreet's mad wife Moorehead goes completely over the
edge and murders her portly spouse. Based on an 1860 gothic novel, this works well ...
