Jenny (Peggy Webber) has just moved into her new home with her husband
Eric (John Hudson) - which incidently is the huose of his deceased first
wife Mary, who has died under mysterious circumstancesin the estate's own
pond. Immediately, Jenny gets a sort of scary feeling in the house, which
is not at all helped by the retarded gardener of the estate who was late
Mary's closest friend and who greets Jenny with disdain.
One night, when Eric is out to do some business in town, Jenny is
scared half witless when she first finds a skull in a cupboard and later
the skull seems to be knocking on the front door and follows her in when
she opens. Jenny faints, and when she wakes up in the arms of her hubby,
he tells her he has found no skull, but immediately suspects Mickey of
trying to scare her away.
We soon learn that Jenny has spent some time in a sanatorium after the
death of her parents who she felt responsible for. When the local reverend
(Russ Conway), a friend of the family, learns about Jenny's condition and
the horrors she had to endure (if real or imagined), he advices Eric to
take her away, but Eric insists that she remains here, faces her horrors
and he will help her to overcome them with love ...
Later, Eric asks Jenny to burn the portrait of Mary, which has had some
part in whatever it is that haunted Jenny, and reluctantly she agrees -
only to find a skull in the ashes, which Eric claims he doesn't see. But
after he has put her to bed, Eric returns to the ashes and picks up and
hides the skull - but he's watched by Mickey, who takes the skull and
brings it to the reverend. The reverend is quick to put two and two
together and figures that Eric has married Jenny solely for her money in
the first place and now tries to get rid of her by driving her into
suicide or even ...
Meanwhile, Eric already repares a noose to place around Jenny's neck
... when there is a knock on the door, and it is ... a skeleton in Mary's
cloths that viciously attacks Eric and ultimately drowns him in the very
same pond Mary herself was murdered. And when the reverend finally
arrives, everything is already over ...
No classic, not even all that good a little spooker, also lacking in
originality and giving away its plottwists way too soon. But still, there
is something about this little and cheaply shot film that makes it
charming - charming in a drive-in movie way of course (which means not
everybody is going to like it) but charming still.
