Overview
The will of millionaire Cyrus Norman, who died ten years ago, will be read out to his six relatives, including Joyce Norman and Wally Campbell. Norman's lawyer, Crosby, arranges for the six of them to meet in Norman's creepy New Orleans Gothic estate. During the reading, the superstitious housekeeper predicts that someone will die by midnight. All are shocked when Crosby comes up dead, and Wally is particularly concerned for Joyce after she has been proclaimed the sole inheritor.
