Synopsis:

When an elderly man dies, some of his relatives gather to hear the reading of the will. When it is read by his attorney, the old man lets it be known how much he despised and loathed his worthless kin. As a result, his will is structured in such a way as to set up a dogfight between his potential heirs as to who will collect his fortune.

Six surviving relatives of the eccentric millionaire Cyrus West gather for the reading of his will - and find the choice of beneficiary unpopular, and there is a second choice if the first should die, or be proven insane.

A group of potential heirs gather in a forbidding old house to learn which of them will inherit a fortune. Later, they learn that a flesh-rending maniac is loose.
