Summary:
In an empty London house, a hobo named Ben looks for shelter but instead finds a corpse. When a detective shows up, he questions Ben but is interrupted when a girl falls through the roof. Her father has vanished, and she's received an inscrutable telegram that mentions both the house and a missing necklace. Soon more suspicious characters turn up, all looking for the necklace, and none of them who they claim to be. With its exhilarating climactic chase sequence and masterful mix of suspense, scares, and humor.
