The not very funny jokes come thick and fast in this madcapped romp - a The Cat And The Canary variation more CarryOn comedy than Hammer horror - starring Basil "He thinks he's Sherlock Holmes" Rathbone, Hugh Herbert and Bela Lugosi as just some of the beneficiaries of widow Henrietta Winslow's will, gathered in her gothic mansion full of cats, antiques, secret passages and a growing number of dead bodies (murders committed by a shadowy someone whose identity you don't really have a chance of guessing given everyone appears to be making the plot up as they go).
