Proud and solitary, Eel Marsh House surveys the windswept reaches of the salt marshes beyond Nine Lives Causeway. Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, is summoned to attend the funeral Mrs Alice Drablow, the house`s sole inhabitant, unaware of the tragic secrets which lie hidden behind the shuttered windows. It is not until he glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk of the woman in black - and her terrible purpose.
A tongue-in-cheek story of the adventures of a Los Angeles private detective. A beautiful blonde woman hires Lenny Samuel to find her missing sister. Before long the stage also contains gunmen, dead bodies, world-weary policemen and jewel thieves.
