The Haunted Lady
Elderly widow Eliza Fairbanks claims someone's trying to scare her to death. First a cloud of bats is unleashed in her locked bedroom, but when that doesn't do the trick a pack of rats arrives next. Special duty nurse Hilda Adams, a.k.a. "Miss Pinkerton," believes Eliza may be frail, but she's not batty. She is very, very rich, though, and among her assorted shady and oddball relatives one clearly has an eye on the Fairbanks fortune.Ā .Ā .Ā .
