"I wish you would keep your hands off my books."A pianist (Victor Francen) in a small Italian village makes some associates certify he is not insane, but he clearly is when he tries to strangle Hilary Cummins (Peter Lorre). Following this incident he dies in a accident and his relatives gather for the funeral and the reading of the will and they throw Cummins out, calling him a freeloader. Then the murders begin and the villagers come to believe that the pianist's severed hand is responsible.
A old style classic horror, with a twist ending for those who want to play detective. What would be a run of the mill horror is enlivened by Lorre's performance as he runs away with the film.
