'She sets her scene in a house that is to let, and weaves a baffling and withal amusing plot. Sue (Marjorie Kennedy), Georgia (Edna Lowe), and Freda (Marie Balfour) take occupation of the house and hope to be able to enjoy in it a good holiday free from the worries and cares of a city existence. Fate, or possible Mrs. banks (Leura Andrews), Dr. Crappp (R.J.T. Blackham) and Millie (Kathleen Walter), willed otherwise, for the house had long been used by them as a depot for drugs. There is a ghost, and much rumbling–all staged so that the house shall have a reputation for being haunted. It is all, however, of no avail, for Bill, a very able secret service man (Russell Lamble), comes upon the scene and unearths a veritable hotbed of crime and drug trafficking.'
