Dan, the bell-boy from the local hotel, ingratiates himself into the home and affections of a self-centred old woman (Mrs Bramson). Is he really the cheerful, likeable chap he seems on the surface whose only crime is to get Dora the maid into trouble or is there a darker, more sinister side to him? As the police start searching the grounds outside for the body of a hotel guest, Olivia (Mrs Bramson's neice) seems to be the only one to suspect Dan. She then starts to wonder who will be the next victim. Period 1935.
