The Unholy Night (1929)





On a dark, foggy night in London, an unknown person attempts to strangle Lord Montague, but he manages to escape. However, he finds out that four of his other comrades from his old regimental unit in Gallipoli have been killed. Scotland Yard asks Montague to bring together the remaining nine surviving officers at his home. When one of them is murdered, it becomes clear that the killer is one of them, as no one else has entered the house. The group must now work together to determine the identity of the murderer.
