Several old University friends gather in an old country house that turns out to be haunted by the previous occupants

Although set in England this mystery film was almost entirely shot on location in India, much of it at Bangalore Palace owned by the Maharajah of Mysore, and as a result there are some very good shots of British-built Indian narrow-gauge steam locomotives. The very opening scene, however, is filmed on the London Underground using 1938-built tube stock.

The first 45 seconds of the movie are filmed onboard 1938-built Underground stock. This is the best of the UK railway scenes, but it doesn’t tell us much.
