Synopsis:
Wealthy John Coslow remains sheltered in his secluded mansion, plagued by the haunting music of “The Wedding March” and ghostly visions of his daughter, Alicia, who recently died in a tragic auto accident. When Lamont and Margot arrive as guests they find the body of Dobson, Alicia’s fiancé, with an arrow in his back. Coslow’s servant, Hollis, had suspected his employer of murdering Alicia and attempted to blackmail him. Before Lamont and Margot can question Hollis, the servant is killed by an arrow, too. Margot and Lamont discover Coslow committed murder to prevent Dobson from exposing his homicide attempt and killed Hollis to keep him from talking to the police, all the while hoping to blame the deeds on the ghost. Alicia, however, turns up alive and well. She played the role of a ghost with the idea of forcing her father to confess to the murder of his wife. Alicia reveals the murder of her mother succeeded in laying claim to the inheritance and when she discovered her father planning to murder her Alicia faked her death. Seeing no other way out, Coslow swallows a vial of poison. But Alicia gets the last laugh — she switched the poison with water so her murderous father will spend the next few months regretting his deed — and then face the electric chair.
