The third of four films by the master of suspense, starring Joseph Cotten Teresa Wright
Macdonald Carey
When Charlie Cokley arrives in the small northern Californian town of Santa Rosa he is enthusiastically welcomed by his family. Young Charlie is particularly pleased to see her favourite uncle after whom she was named; that is until two newcomers to the town lead her to suspect that Uncle Charlie may be hiding a gruesome secret....
