The Bat

The setting of this murder mystery is a proverbial old, dark, and creepy mansion leased for the summer by Cornelia Van Gorder (Agnes Moorehead), an eccentric mystery writer who finds inspiration for her novels in her eerie surroundings. But soon after Cornelia moves in, it seems as if one of her mysteries has sprung to life when a strange prowler, who is later dubbed The Bat, breaks into the mansion clad in a fedora, mask, and gloves outfitted with razor-sharp metal claws. The Bat terrorizes Cornelia and her maid and then commits a gruesome act of murder. The frightened novelist, refusing to fall victim to the masked marauder, resolutely sets out to expose the killer's true identity and get to the bottom of the mystery by turning the tables on the vile villain.
