Synopsis

The scene, a living-room at Cliff House, overlooking the English Channel, over a few days in September in the present time. When Ellen, struck by a form of hysterical paralysis, is attended by a new young doctor, Corey Phillips, terrifying incidents occur. First, a body is found on the beach. Next, the housekeeper is killed. Everyone is suspect until Nurse Pepper (a most unusual detective) unravels the mystery. She discovers that 'Dr Phillips' is a murderous impersonator after Ellen's fortune. Nurse Pepper foils him, and Ellen is shocked out of her paralysis.
