Q: Build a movie plot around this: Who is Sam Hurrin's wife? Sucal
A: The calm of a peaceful English village is shattered when a series of anonymous letters starts being delivered to village homes, containing scurrilous allegations about the recipients and their families. Upstanding and respectable inhabitants find themselves and their loved ones accused in lascivious detail of all manner of moral, sexual and criminal misdeeds. The Reverend Rider (Tate) and his sister Mary (Robson) attempt to defuse the increasing consternation of the villagers by pointing out that the letters are motivated by malice and a desire to stir up trouble, and should be ignored as the nonsense they are. Their efforts meet with little success, and Rider's daughter Ann (Todd) also becomes a target with lewd accusations being made about her fiance David (Geoffrey Toone).As the letters continue to arrive with ever more outlandish content, the social fabric of the village starts to fall apart.

Tragedy follows when the despairing Connie hangs herself from the bellrope in the village church.Rider preaches a sermon in which he expresses his disgust with his congregation for having driven Connie to suicide without a...
