STARTLING...The Amazing Tale Of A Fog Swept Place Of Terror!
Leo, a former convict, is living in seclusion on an island with his step-daughter, the daughter of his late wife. Leo was framed by a group of former business associates, and he also suspects that one of them killed his wife. He has invited the group to his island, tempting them by hinting about a hidden fortune, and he has installed a number of traps and secret passages in his home. He is aided in his efforts by a former cell-mate who holds a grudge against the same persons. When everyone arrives, the atmosphere of mutual suspicion and the thick fog that covers the island promise a tense and hazardous weekend for everyone.

Reviews
This is a very well staged murder mystery; the timings of movement throughout the fog-bound house riddled with secret passages are as precise as a ballet; and that helps keep the pace of it flowing along quite well. It needs to be, the dialogue is really quite poor and overall it's a waste of the talents of George Zucco and Lionel Atwill who don't really get much opportunity to get their teeth int
