Robert (Cedric Hardwicke)and Ellen Bonting (Sara Allgood) decide to rent out a room in their house. Their new tenant, Mr. Slade is an odd sort of man to say the least. Soon, a number of gory murders start happening around the area and as it turns out, all of the victims are not only female, but actresses as well. Inspector John Warwick (George Sanders) is dispatched to investigate the gruesome crimes by The Ripper and in the course of investigation meets and interviews the beguiling Kitty Langley (Merle Oberon), who is a singing actress at one of the theaters in the area where the killer is operating. Meanwhile, while the Inspector is falling for Kitty, the Bontings begin to suspect that their tenant is more than just odd, he might just be the killer. To make matters worse, the Bontings' neice is a fledgling actress!
