John Loder and Eleanor Parker star in this wartime film from Warner Brothers. Right at the beginning, we see a headless man walking about in the fog. Holmes (Lester Matthews) gets a ride to the town inn. This inn turns out to be full of surprises and mystery, and we hear the entire, sordid tale. The miner who had lost his head years ago is apparently still walking around town, looking for his head. Sir Harry (John Loder) pops in, although the credits call him Henry, and is the stately gentleman, watching over the town. everyone seems to know more than they tell. then the mysterious Holmes turns up dead, so HE can't be the headless man. why does someone want the old mine to stay closed? Made during WW II, we see gas masks carried about in some scenes. Directed by Ben Stoloff. It's a pretty good suspense story. in old british style. It is a bit silly.... Letty (Parker) has the chance to clear Bart's name, but doesn't, for some reason. Then the mystery is solved, and it all comes out. Pretty good film. Rarely shown.
