The Cat and the Canary




Paul Jones (Creighton Hale) does his best as he tries to find out what is going on and protect cousin Annabelle (Laura La Plante) from a mysterious criminal. La Plante is the canary who has inherited an eccentric millionaire’s estate (at midnight, no less) if she can prove she is not insane; otherwise the money goes to an unnamed someone else.
