Jane Bedford's grandfather has made a fortune, but so peculiar are his ideas of disposing of it that Jane doubts if she will ever see her legacy. When he dies suddenly, her doubts seem to be justified. Then Jane receives a strange letter inviting her to the old man's deserted house in Norfolk. Arriving there on a misty November night, she is half-way across the large hall when a crawling fear grips her; for the staircase, just visible by the flame of her cigarette lighter, has become crooked and bent. And this is only the beginning of the nightmare...
