Albert L. Tuttle (Jack Haley) is a life insurance salesman with
terrible timing. Upon reaching the lavish estate of millionaire Cyrus J.
Rutherford, Tuttle is informed by the eerie butler, Murkil (Bela
Lugosi), that his prospective client has recently died. In fact,
Rutherford's relatives are gathered to hear the
reading of his will. Soon, Tuttle is drawn into the strange brood's
world of secret tunnels, odd portraits and a vanishing corpse - all for
an alluring niece (Jean Parker).
