Description

It's a dark and stormy night at the mansion of elderly Colonel Claythorne, and the pompous murder-mystery author, Arthur Whittington, is holding court with the Colonel's family. When Whittington shares the news that the Colonel has modified his Will to cut out one of his daughters--though which daughter won't be revealed until the Colonel's death-- tempers flare. By the time Mrs. Peck's son, (junior) Detective Paul Peck arrives, there's been a murder and everyone is suspect.
