A WORD OF WARNING! Please don't reveal the ending of this picture or your friends will kill you - IF THEY DON'T, I WILL! - William Castle
As children, Miriam Webster and her half brother, Warren, had been cared for by Helga, a kindly nurse. The old woman is now mute and paralyzed and lives in a gloomy old mansion with a companion, Emily, Warren's alleged wife. Though Helga is threatened with murder by Emily, a homicidal maniac who has already killed the local justice of the peace, she is unable to communicate her deathly fear. Miriam and her fiance, Karl, become suspicious of Emily's strange behavior and discuss the situation with Warren. Karl decides to go to the police, and Miriam and Warren return to the old mansion, which Warren enters alone. When he fails to come out, Miriam goes in and discovers the murdered body of Helga. As she backs away in terror, she is suddenly confronted by Emily wielding a knife. Miriam watches in horror as Emily tears off her wig, thus establishing Warren and Emily as one and the same. As "Emily" raises her knife to stab Miriam, Dr. Jonas arrives unexpectedly at the house, and in the ensuing scuffle the psychotic killer is shot and killed by Miriam. Later it is revealed that following a trip to Denmark, Warren had taken on the psychopathic personality of Emily but had been forced to maintain his masculine identity in order to protect his inheritance. Both the justice of the peace and Helga were slain to keep them from exposing Warren's secret.
