A Gothic melodrama set in a huge English country mansion. A young penniless woman named Blanche(Valerie Hobson)sees her life's station moving upward when she takes the position of governess from her distant cousins. The wealthy cousins took the name Fury when acquiring the home from the Fury family. Blanche will fall in love with a disinherited Fury descendant Philip Thorn(Stewart Granger), who is serving as a manservant to patriarch Simon Fury(Walter Fitzgerald). The ambitious Blanche marries her employer(and relation)the soft spoken Laurence Fury(Michael Gough). Meanwhile Philip sees his chance to gain what he thinks is rightfully his own...the ancestral home; he convinces his lover Blanche to take part in murdering her husband. Why does this sound like an old soap opera? Other players: Susanne Gibbs, Ernest Jay, Sybille Binder, Maurice Denham and Edward Lexy.
