Plots(1)
It was a dark and stormy night, as the saying goes, and the greedy relatives gathered in a gloomy old mansion for the midnight reading of a 20-year-old will were unnerved by sinister events: a clawed hand emerging from the wall, a familiar body falling from behind a secret panel and word that an escaped lunatic was at large.
