Early entry from Universal in the old dark house genre. Gloria Stuart is celebrating her 21st birthday in a remote English castle with her father and three suitors. After her father tells the story of a haunted room with a tragic past, the youngest man challenges the others to each spend a night in it. He goes first and is nowhere to be found the next morning. The police are called in to solve the mystery and they have plenty of suspects. The mystery is revealed in a satisfying twist ending. Less dialogue and more atmosphere would have made it even better.
