Belle investigates and accepts an invitation from Michael to dine at his mother Lady Margaret Drego's estate. Belle discovers that Michael has a new girlfriend: Audrey Ashton.

A charming and beautifully acted whodunit, but not entirely believable. Why would the innocent Michael Drego agree to Rose's request? She doesn't want money, that's all. Taking a pretty London theater girl to the estate where his fiancée awaits, accompanied by his strict mother... It's asking for trouble. And even more so if he suspects his mother has a hand in Daisy's death... And why is the door to Michael's room unlocked, if Mother Drego absolutely doesn't want any onlookers there?
The transition from the London fog to the sunshine on the estate is beautifully done. And from there, that dark house in... An unusual role for Vincent Price, beautiful to watch. All in all, a pleasantly satisfactory score for this atmospheric tale.
