House Without Windows

Synopsis:
Edgar Marr, a former teacher, hires eighteen-year-old Elizabeth to help his overworked wife, Ann, and his elderly sister, Estelle. Ann is deeply devoted to her son, Arthur, a gifted pianist who lost his eyesight in an accident. Estelle owns the house they live in and she supports them all since Edgar is unable to obtain a position. She tyrannizes everybody and Edgar and Ann hate her. The tension between the family members reaches a climax when Edgar discovers Estelle has decided to alter her will, which was made in favor of Arthur, and plans to leave her money to a dog and cat hospital. The next morning Estelle is found murdered. All the clues point to Elizabeth, who was innocently mixed up in a prior murder and sentenced to a term in the reformatory, and has been released on probation-a fact known by Edgar, who only hired her to pin the murder on her. His plan is so cleverly conceived, the execution of his crime so perfect, that he almost succeeds. . .if it had not been for his blind son. Arthur discovers the mistake his father made, which ultimately proves Elizabeth's innocence.
