---                               Plot summary:                              ---
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A hooded killer invades the Blackmoor estate, assaulting Lucius Clark and
demanding the return of stolen diamonds. The phantom leaves behind a gruesome
calling card - the murdered body of a groundskeeper, with the letter "M" marked
on his forehead. An inspector arrives from Scotland Yard to catch the strangler
and concludes that the murders are the work of a man with nine fingers. Clark's
paranoia leads him to accuse his friends and servants. The case is at a
standstill when two more disfigured corpses are discovered, but a parcel of
hidden love letters provides the investigator with a clue he needs to pick up
the trail of the strangler. A violent confrontation with the killer leads to the
exposure of false identities and an uncovering of long-buried secrets.

Ripped from the poor American NTSC DVD. An interesting Krimi from the genre
originator, Harald Reinl. More violent than usual, but without the cast known
from other Krimis.
