Synopsis
The Terror, a maniacal killer whose identity is unknown, makes his headquarters in an old English country house that has been converted into an inn. With mysterious organ recitals and strange noises, The Terror frightens the guests, who include Mrs. Elvery, a spiritualist; Ferdinand Fane, a Scotland Yard detective who is not so stupid as he seems; and Joe Connors and Soapy Marks, a couple of criminals just released from jail who have sworn revenge on The Terror. After a night of murder and mayhem, the identity of The Terror is revealed.
