AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In a duplex house in a London suburb, two young couples live, and the front doors of their homes are identical. One of the couples is new to the district, and one night the husband of this couple arrives home to a darkened house. He has some doubts about which is his door, and enters to a macabre scene. Two ghouls had been paid to kill a wife. Their job done, the murderers hold the new tenant for blackmail with the threat of death. The final suspenseful scene is played out on the docks of the Liverpool waterfront.'
