The Franchise Affair plot
Two women live in the remote mansion The Franchise in Milford about whom there is a lot of gossip. A sixteen-year-old girl from the village disappears and reappears just as suddenly. She accuses the women of detaining, beating and starving her for a month. The villagers are only too willing to believe her. A process is being prepared, the outcome of which is predetermined. But village attorney Robert Blair doubts the girl's story. Straight against public opinion and even Scotland Yard, Blair investigates. The lawsuit it inevitably leads to is nothing short of startling.

Reasonable film about a young woman who accuses two women of kidnapping her. A mystery that remains entertaining mainly because you want to know which story of the two is the truth. The build up is pretty standard with the court scene providing the denouement. The movie certainly shouldn't have lasted longer. A small 3.0 stars.
