The Black Cat

“Even Ladd is scared!”

Henrietta Winslow is rich, old and fond of her cats, and a houseful of relatives has gathered to wait for her to die and leave them her money. When she is found murdered, Montague Hartley (Basil Rathbone) and the rest of the family become suspects, and Albert S. Rogell sends them stumbling through the dark mansion. Elaine Winslow (Anne Gwynne) and Gil Smith (Broderick Crawford) are caught in the same house, drawn together while the heirs keep accusing one another.
