Synopsis

On a stormy night, Anthony Peel and Angela Worthing are forced to seek shelter at a secluded inn. There they find the maître d'hôtel, a waiter, and a maid in earnest conference. Angela is hesitant about staying overnight because of a possible scandal; and the maid, pretending to understand only French, is curious about the young lovers. Screams from an adjoining room bring the police and detective Reginald De Brett in search of a stolen diamond necklace; a murder is discovered, and all are detained overnight. Anthony learns that the maid is the sister of the woman who owned the missing jewels and discovers a button near the location of the murder, proving ultimately that De Brett is actually the killer.
