Output (English): In a cultured and peaceful home on the outskirts of London, the head of the household, Sir Roger Balfour, is found dead from what initially appears to be a selfinflicted bullet wound, despite the insistence of Balfours friend and neighbour, Sir James Hamlin, that his old friend would never have taken his own life. Nonetheless, Balfours death is officially declared a suicide by Inspector Edward C. Burke of Scotland Yard. Five years later, with the case still unresolved, a sinisterlooking man with pointed teeth wearing a Beaverskin top hat, arrives at the household accompanied by a cadaverouslooking woman in a long gown; the arrival of these two individuals prompts Sir James Hamlin, the friend and neighbour of the late Roger Balfour, to call Scotland Yard. This in turn prompts Inspector Burke to travel to the household, where he discovers that three individuals now present in the household had been the only three who had been present five years previously when Roger Balfour had died. Initially, Burke remains sceptical that any of these three individuals Balfours daughter, Lucille, his butler Williams, and Arthur Hibbs, the nephewsecretary of the neighbour who had placed the call to Scotland Yard may have been involved in his murder, until Balfours body disappears from its tomb and an individual looking distinctly like him is seen around the old Balfour estate. This, in addition to other eerie acts such as instances of singular gunshots being heard in Roger Balfours former bedroom occurring in the household while Burke is there and the sinisterlooking Man in the Beaver Hat repeatedly terrifying those within the household, prompts him to determine to identify Balfours killer by reproducing the former crime scene and using hypnosis to induce the culprit into reenacting the murder.
