Information

Cover Notes: Laura La Plante, Forrest Stanley and Creighton Hale star in this silent comedy horror directed by Paul Leni. Driven mad by his greedy family members, millionaire Cyrus West decreed just before he died that his last will and testament could not be read until the 20th anniversary of his death. At the appointed time, his relatives gather and learn that he bequeathed his fortune to his niece Annabelle (La Plante), on the condition that she be judged sane by a doctor. A terrifying night follows in which Annabelle's sanity is tested repeatedly as the family learn that a murderer known as the Cat has escaped from a nearby asylum and the lawyer who read the will is found dead...
